Mother's Day conversation with Kennedy

I just had to write (type) this out before I forgot it. Our girls say the greatest things. They are always making us laugh and often embarrassing us by their honesty. A recent humbling example: I saw them whispering at a restaurant last week and giggling. I was touched at how sweet they appeared and could not wait to hear all about their precious little conversation. When I asked them they said, "we like your dress mommy...it makes you look like you have a baby in your belly."
ANYWAY, what I really wanted to write about is what our precious 5 year old, Kennedy, said today. We were sitting on the couch and I told her and Claire, "You know, one day you girls will be mommies. I hope you have a husband that makes you feel as special as your daddy makes me feel." Kennedy looked up at me and said, "Mommy! You know we will because we will only marry someone if they love Jesus as much as daddy does."
Now you see why we need this in writing!
I am so thankful that, at such young ages, my girls are starting to understand that what makes their dad so loving, giving, patient, faithful, such a strong and selfless leader (I could keep going...he's amazing) only comes through who he is in Christ. God has blessed my girls so much by daily allowing them to see how a godly man loves his wife and family. Some poor boys are going to have big shoes to fill one day!
