A Compliment from God

I decided to wear a sundress to the grocery store today. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know the answer. I just decided to put in on.

While I was strapping Ethan into his car seat he said, very politely, “That is a pretty dress Mommy.” Then he hugged me. “You look very beautiful today.”

Well… heck.

“Thank you, honey. Did Daddy teach you to say such nice things?”

“No, God taught me how. When I went to see him.”

“You went to see God, honey?”

“Oh, yes. I needed to be dead. But I came back so I could play with my toys.”

Thank you, God, for returning him. As much as he sometimes irritates me, I surely would miss the conversations we have.
