Steve Jobs died yesterday. He was the creator/founder of Apple. Worth more money than any of us can imagine. He ... was adopted. Born to a single mom and her boyfriend. They 'gave him up' for adoption.
I wonder how his birth mom feels - knowing that was 'her boy'? I wonder how his adopted parents felt - as he became famous and rich? I bet he made both mommas PROUD.
My adopted boy made me proud this morning. Samuel brought me this book:
He said "Baby Jesus died. He died on the cross. Bad guys killed him. They used swords." (MUCH EMOTION in these words!!!) "LOOK! Look - there's the cross. Baby Jesus died."
Gently - I explained that it's when we do bad things, when we're naughty, that's why Jesus died.
"Oh." (He's processing that.) Someday - he'll be 'so sorry' for Baby Jesus.
Samuel made me proud. He cares about Baby Jesus. He cares that Baby Jesus was killed. By bad guys. By swords. ON A CROSS!!!
Someday, Baby Jesus will give us the privilege of helping Samuel make Baby Jesus his Savior.
Nothing could make a momma more proud - her 'adopted boy' asking the Creator of the apple to be his Lord and Savior!
Someday....
SOMEDAY!
