In January, our church changed to the 8:00am start time. Its REALLY hard to get up before the sun; but its so nice to have the whole day after we get home.
At one point in the day, just after reading scriptures, I said “Pace, could we trade places for just one day?”
“No we can’t. ” he said.
“Why not?” I asked.
“Because, I have little problems in little pieces and you have big problems with big pieces,” he said as he hummed a little tune.
And it was that simple; I have too many problems to be little again (which is precisely why I want to trade places with him!). He always finds a way to express himself with exactly the right words. How does he do that?!?!?!
Then later, after Pace had done all the Sunday things he knew to do, I heard the T.V. go on and then immediately go off. I knew he turned on the T.V. but then remembered it was Sunday and turned it right back off. I looked at him playing in the corner of the room. I said, “So Pace, what would you like to do?”
He quickly replied, “I don’t know but I have crackers.”
Again, sage words from a wise six-year-old. If only we could all have little problems in little pieces and be happy with just a handful of crackers.
