Funny story that revealed to me yet again the heart of a 3 year old…
This evening I am in a hurry leaving Barnes and Noble trying to get to church on time for First Wednesday. We were parked in the parking lot where we had to walk across the street to get to our car. So I am holding Benjamin in my right arm, have the kid bag and purse on the left arm, a hot cup of coffee in each hand, and have Cade holding onto my purse since I had no hands left.
As we cross the street, Cade did pretty good walking with me. Ben was trying to twist down and I was sloshing the coffee out of the cup. A man walking past us asked if I needed help and could he help me. I politely declined as we had reached our car.
As we were getting in the car, I was buckling Cade in when his three year old working mind got the best of him. “Mommy, why did that man ask if you need help? You don’t need help.”
As I was driving to church I chuckled when I thought of this. Mommy is the invincible, handle everything one, at least it appears so to my preschooler! Mommy’s don’t need help, despite what we may think! Such confidence, such faith, such trust they have in us.
If only he knew the prayers I prayed each morning in the shower for my daily dose of help to get me through!
