Satisfy - Day 4

You know what really makes me a proud mama? Watching Finley be SO friendly to people he doesn't know while we had dinner at Cheddar's. He stood up in the booth, turned around, and started waving like crazy and saying "hi, hi, hi" to all of the servers as they came by. He was our little greeter :) And it was amazing to watch and see what a small, innocent gesture can do. It certainly made my night as he would get each one smiling, or even stopping to talk, get a fist bump or high five, etc. You just never know how his sweet ear to ear grin brightened someone's night after they dealt with a disgruntled customer or were maybe dealing with personal issues that are hard to ignore. And you know what? One of the guys was so impressed he even brought him some ice cream!  

Having a child is such a good - and sometimes very humbling - reminder of Jesus' love and grace that He so freely gives us so we can give it to others. We don't need to do it to get the reward of ice cream :) but to simply show others our Savior. Watching my boy do that tonight satisfied my soul. Thankful for that reminder! 

Oh and in other news - here are pictures from our trip to the airport tonight. It was our first, but certainly not last, trip. We met the nicest couple who were in from Atlanta to watch their son fly. His mom shared with me that he recently flew to the airport close to her work for one of his lessons so he could see her. His instructor said that was a first! Tears - What a proud mama moment for her! As we talked I was certainly reminded of how quickly this time with Finley will pass us by. Going to do my best to soak it all up as much as I can. It's already gone by way too fast.
