Out of the Mouth of Babes

Tonight as I was tucking my son in to bed I asked him, "Did you have a good Christmas?" He said, "Yes."

I asked him, "Why?"

"Because." (He's four).

"Why was it good?" I insisted.

He said again, "Because" as he smiled with a big smile.

"Was there something that made it good?"

"Because I am thankful for it," was his response.

Truly that is what made his Christmas so good - because he was thankful for it. It made me stop and appreciate what he had said. Gratitude really is the source of joy for all that life has to offer. I am grateful for my son who taught me that tonight.

Life is so good because I am thankful for it too.
