This afternoon while Noah and I were waiting for Levi to get up from his nap we were sitting on the couch reading a book. It was about all different kinds of jobs and why they are important (I think it was our 3rd time reading it today...). Halfway through the book I paused and asked Noah what he wanted to be when he grew up, thinking that he would say one of the professions from the book. He thought for a second and then the conversation went like this:
Noah: Well... what is my Daddy?
Me: Daddy is a pastor.
Noah: What is a Pastor?
Me: A pastor is someone who knows and loves Jesus and wants to tell other people how much they are loved and forgiven by God. They also read their Bibles and teach other people what the Bible says so that they can know Jesus, too.
Noah: Oh.. well I think I will be that!
So... later on around the dinner table I ask Noah to tell Drew what he wanted to be when he grows up. He got a huge smile on his face and said, "A PASTOR!" of course Drew smiled. Then I asked Noah what pastors do, just because I was curious about what he had heard me say earlier. He said, "They are people who teach people how to be like Jesus!" And then Levi says, "Oh yeah... I know Jesus. I love him. He makes me happy and he gives me a heart... and Binky Bear!"
Oh these boys :) I love them so much. And it's nice to know that Drew now has a job description, "someone who teaches people how to be like Jesus." We are so blessed to have a Daddy in this house that models Jesus so well for us by loving us like crazy.
