Let's Take a Moment, Shall We?

I look for teachable moments for my children all the time. Moments are always presenting themselves, if you only look for them.

I found one in the car the other day when this song came on the radio.

I had heard it several times before and really liked it. The words are so precious. When it came on when my kids were with me, I said, "Listen to the words of this song. Boys, this is how you should feel about your future wives and you should tell her these things. Baby girl, you need a boy that feels this way about you", and I turned the volume way up.



I want my boys to grow up feeling this way about the loves that God has for them and I want them to know how important it is for them to express themselves. I want my daughter to know that she is special and not to settle for less than the words of this song when she chooses her lifetime mate. I let them know that no one is perfect, of course, but unconditional love is the ultimate goal. Teachable moments...

I love this song. I love the lyrics. I want someone to feel this way about me. I don't want my kids to settle for less, so why should I??

Perhaps my kids weren't the only one that learned something that day.

Have a teachable moment myself? Don't mind if I do...
