Picnic

So, I decided to make a normal lunch today fun for Ethan and also give me some time to talk about his morning at VBS. I packed a lunch for both of us, sandwiches, chips, banana and drinks, put it in a basket(he requested this specifically) and picked him up from VBS. He said he loved it, it was a great morning for him. He told me part of the Lord's prayer...it was so funny to hear him try to pronounce "hallowed". He kept say How would it be your name...lol. We pulled up to the park and sat at a little table and ate beneath the trees by the playground...in the wonderful breeze...it was lovely. He ate(pretty fast) and then rushed over to join another child on the playground. He loved it. I sat by the other child's mother and we talked a little, but not much. It is so wierd how I never meet a stranger, yet sometimes the words just don't come out like I want them to. I always think of nice things to say once that person is already gone...I have been trying to work up ways to share how much God loves us, in small talk with people I meet. I have been unsuccessful thus far. The words just leave me, or is it my courage...anyhow, I smiled and made small talk about how cute her little boy was. He was 2 and imitated everything Ethan did. Makes me think of just how impressionable children are.
Well, lunch was great, the company was even better and the weather was perfect enough to keep us on the playground for more than an hour. Praise the Lord.
