Jonah and I have been having a lot of conversations lately on loving others. This is the boy who told me last year "Mom, I love you, but only on Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays". He's been into Scooby Doo lately so I think that has something to do with our conversations. His questions normally come as I am tucking him into bed. "Mom" he'll say "I love everybody."
I laugh on the inside and ask him "Jonah do you love even mad guys?(also known as bad guys)"
"I don't know" he'll reply thinking "Jesus loves mad guys."
"Yes Jesus loves mad guys" I reply "Jesus tells us to love mad guys too."
"Mom some mad guys are scary but Jesus loves them too. I love everybody. I'm like Jesus."
What a refreshing reminder of the way I am suppose to love others. There was no judging, no prejudice, just an innocent sweet boy wanting to love others and be like Jesus. I would like to take credit and say he is just like his Mom but I can't only my Jesus could of fashioned him that way.
