On Friday C was scheduled to do a wedding at church for a young couple. As always, I have to prepare the kids a couple hours in advance that a babysitter is coming and who it will be and what they will be doing while we are gone. That gives Big G time to process and ask any questions he may have and typically there are a few that needing answering. BUT one question he asked was one I did not expect. When I told the kids that we were going to a wedding and daddy was going to marry someone at church, Big G became very concerned and the conversation went something like this:
G: Mom, you are going to a wedding with daddy right?
M: Right.
G: But mommy, why is daddy going to marry someone else when he already had a wedding with you and already married you??!!
M: Oh buddy, I am sorry you misunderstood mommy. You are right, daddy is married to mommy. He is going to be the pastor and marry and bless another man and lady so they can be married just like mommy and daddy.
G: OOHHH, cuz you are daddies bride right mama?
M: Yes honey, and mommy and daddy will only be married to one another and nobody else, ever. Always remember that ok?
G: OK
Oh the minds of young ones and the very teachable moments that occur daily. God tells us to be ready in all seasons. I pray that I am ready for each of these seasons.
