How Trusting Are You?
2007-05-02
My son showed me yesterday just how much he trusts me (and loves me) . . .
A family friend, Jimmy, came over to pick up a lift my dad had left at my house. They needed to replace some lights before the rodeo comes to town this weekend. Jimmy told me to tell my oldest that he wasn't going to take the lift now, but take him and he can climb the poles to replace the lights. Sounds crazy right? Well, I went in the house and told my son. He looked at me for a second then started putting on his shoes. As he walked out the door I told him not to worry since I have insurance just in case he falls off the pole. Still no questions until we got outside. He looked at me again and asked me if I was kidding. Kidding? Who me? No way! That's what Jimmy said I told him. He looked at me once more then started walking over to Jimmy. When he got there, I saw a big smile on my Jimmy's face. He couldn't believe my son would actually do it when I told him to. My son came back to me, smiling ear to ear. His only response was "Mama!" as he went back in the house. Now that's trust! Would it be nice if we could trust others instead of being so cynical because of the world we live in?
