Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep......

I knew it.
I just knew it!
I feel some regret today.

Because I was too lazy to go downstairs Saturday night and get the camera, I can't show you what I saw in my 3rd grader's room.

It was really late.
Nicolas had been watching a movie in his bedroom.
At some point, he had fallen asleep.

I noticed the TV on, and walked down to check things out.
I hit the power on the TV and looked over at the bottom bunk.
There was Nicolas fast asleep.
But what was he clutching?
He's too old for a Teddy Bear.
And yet his arms were tightly hugging something to his chest.

You know what it was?
His Bible!
No kidding.
It was amazing.
He was holding onto it for dear life.
I was floored.
And humbled.
"Oh Lord, let him always feel that way about you and your Word."
"And may I always feel that way too."

God gave me a gift Saturday night.
And yes.... I sure wish I had taken a photo.
But I was just thinking.
Not all precious moments are meant to be snapshots for the world to see.
Some are private pictures God gives only to you.
The best place to post these is in your heart.
