I was tucking Wayne into bed on my birthday, and we ended the day with the following conversation:
Wayne: Mom, I know something. I can't marry you. Boys can't marry their moms, it's just not allowed.
Me: I know buddy, but it's okay. Daddy likes to be married to Mom!
Wayne: I know he does! But what about me? I am going to need a wife someday! How will I know who is supposed to be my wife?
Me: God will show you who He wants to be your wife! He will pick the best one - way better than what you could pick, because God loves you.
Wayne: Hey Mom? I really want to pray right now. I need to ask God to give me a wife when I'm older. Not now, right now I have a mom. But someday when I don't need a mom so much, and I need a wife. I need to pray for God to give me the perfect wife, to make me food.
Me: Okay, let's pray.
Wayne: Dear God. Hey, I really want you to find me the perfect wife. Just for me. Not now, just when I am older. Okay? Just tell me when you find her. Thanks God! In Jesus' name, Amen.
Wayne: Mom? Tell Dad God loves him so much, to give him a wife that's you!
You have a pretty amazing 5-year old! This conversation is so precious and yet made Auntie laugh. I can totally hear the two of you having this conversation!
