Bedtime tonight...should I share it? Almost something to keep just inside, but I want to remember...
[cuddling right before climbing into bed]
Me: Owen, I love you so much. Thanks for being such a big boy and for being such a great big brother. I'm proud of you. I will always love you! There's nothing that will ever make me stop loving you.
Owen: I love you too Mommy.
Me: You know, there is only One that loves you more than Daddy and I do.
Owen: Who?
Me: It's God. He loves you even more than we do, and we love you more than any person in the whole world does. God loves people the most!
Owen: No...I love you and Daddy the same as God does! I love you as much as much as God does.
Me: Oh, I don't think so! God loves us the most and he loves you the most. No one can love more than God does. He loves us perfectly. I love you so, so much, but sometimes I make mistakes. Have I ever made a mistake?
Owen: Oh yes.
Me: Yes, I make lots of mistakes every day, so even though I love you lots and lots I don't love you perfectly. But God never makes a mistake, and he loves you perfectly, just right.
Owen: I make mistakes too Mommy.
Me: Well I forgive you and God forgives you and I love you.
Owen: I forgive you too. I love you.
