Fortunately my son didn't ram it up my nose to smell, but he did take a moment to point out its beauty. A love chip. I took a moment to appreciate the love chip, too, because after 12 years of parenting four children, I *finally* learned that my own heart needs to become like a child's...might as well let my child do the honors of leading me in that direction.

I think He has given that gift to you and wrapped it in the precious package of your son. What a beautiful, wonderful post.
