Caleb does something pretty often that I am so proud of.
It's something I don't ever know to expect, it comes from out of the blue.
It is genuine, it is heart felt, and it is just sort of second-nature-easy for him.
He asks people, total strangers, "Do you know God?"
We were at a nearby park playing the other day and he was over by a girl and her dad. They were climbing on this big fake rock/cliff thing....
I almost missed it.
I almost didn't hear him.
Thankfully I was paying attention and did (because it sure does make me smile).
He simply looked at the dad and said "Do you know God?"
The guy sort of paused and gave a "uhhh...yeah." answer.
Caleb said "Ok, I was just just checking."
It was wonderful!
I'm not sure how much the guy liked being asked, he didn't seem real pleased by it. BUT if my son's question made him ponder, made him give it another thought at all...I am thrilled!
Caleb has done this a few times now, to the cashier at Hobby Lobby, to a waitress at Chili's, even to a doctor. (the one about the doctor was awesome because the doctor was telling us that he was moving back to South America to help give medical aid to less fortunate people. After Caleb asked him if he knew God then he also said "GREAT! Be sure to tell people over there about Him too, they might not know.")
I have talked to him about being prepared with what he will say if someone answers "No." Caleb has shared with me that he would say "Well you should" or "He MADE YOU!" and such. This past weekend we talked and came up with a few better answers....just in case. :0)
I pray that Caleb is always bold enough to ask and loving enough to care.

DARLING!! WONDERFUL!! SUPER!!
How very precious!
