isn't she lovely

My family and I love watching American Idol. Who doesn't?? This week during the auditions a gentleman had to postpone his audition because his wife was going to give birth to their first child. Long story short, they had a sweet little girl, he tried out the next day, received three "no's" from the judges and still had a smile on his face. Next, this man asked the judges if they wanted to meet his wife and new daughter. I glanced over at my daughter and through tears she said,

I feel so sorry for that guy mom. He just had a baby and they didn't let him through.

What a perfect opportunity to talk about what is most important in life. We had a great conversation about family and faith. How that father put his child first, how in all things Jesus has first place. It was awesome!

Kids' are bombarded every day with the worldly view of fame and fortune. Lucky us, each weekend we have the opportunity to share with children what is most important. Gimme a J........gimme an E............gimme an S............gimme a U...........gimme an S.......
