Isaac's preschool class is learning about jobs this month. The teachers asked each child what they want to be when they grow up and what they will use to help them do their job. They posted the results on the bulletin board today. The answers were diverse but followed the pattern: "When I grow up, I want to be a teacher. I will use a pointer to point at words." "When I grow up, I want to be a nurse. I will use a shot to give people medicine." And so on.
Isaac's answer stood out to me firstly because he's my son and I adore him (no doubt I'm extremely biased here), but also because he was the only one who didn't pick an actual career. His answer was: "When I grow up, I want to be a daddy. I will use my hands to protect my family."
How precious is that? There is good left in the world, people! God has loaned it to me (and you too, mommas!) to do my best with for a little while.
