Ephesians 2:8
|
Faith in humanity restored
The most amazing thing happened to mama and me today. We were eating at Red Robin when a young mother comes to our table with her young daughter in her arms, and young son next to her.
"Is that your van with all the stickers?" she asked sweetly. "Why, yes, yes it is!" "Well, I would like you to hear something." So she tells her daughter: "Ok, go ahead." The little tot proceeds to recite the Pledge of Allegiance- perfectly. Mom says that her son knows it, too, but he's shy. She then asks her daughter: "How old are you?" The little girl sticks up two fingers and says: "I'm two and will be three on my next birthday!" Absolutely adorable! Mom then tells us that she and the kids were very impressed with the van- especially her son who wants to fly helicopters when he grows up. She the aks her daughter: " What do you want to be when you grow up?" " I want to be a fireman!" Absolutely adorable! Mom then tells us that she and her family are very patriotic, and appreciated the van. Some small talk, "say goodbye and God Bless you!" and they left. We were very impressed with the 2 year old girl, as was our waitress. The kicker: The waitress said as we were finsihing up: " That lady paid for your meal. You owe nothing! She said she felt led to do something nice for you guys." Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! Were were floored, and frankly a tear or two appeared. With wonderful, patriotic people that are teaching their children to love their country at such a young age- it seems that perhaps there still is hope for our beloved America!
