calling him to manhood

this sweet sweet boy. our 3 1/2 year old, oldest brother, curly headed, funny man, jude michael. i'm just so blessed by him. he's maturing so much & caring for our family well. he asks if i'm ok if i get hurt. he picks out toys for his brothers & takes them to them. he says the most intelligent/witty things all day long. how in the world is he growing so fast? only by the grace of God that there is any good in him. michael & i are seeing that we need to challenge him more, encourage him in his servanthood, in taking care of his brothers & setting an example for them... calling him to manhood. thank You, Father for this precious boy!
