JESUS ACT STICK DATE: B & ME

I LOVE that my son and I have a tradition of going to Souplantation for yummy food and awesome conversation time dates.
He regularly chooses this for his Jesus Act Stick Date with me and I hope he never stops!

I LOVE that we have "a table"...our table.
It's the booth near the ice cream. It seats just two. And, it's got our name on it every time.

I'm sure one day I'll go back to that table and cry my mommy eyes out when my little boy is all grown up. I'm sure I'll remember with nostalia the look in his eyes as he sat across from me and poured his little heart out over pizza, chocolate muffins, rootbeer or sprite, and a plate of grapes with one broccoli (the latter two just to make his mom happy). I'm sure one day when my boy has matured, I'll miss the way he used to tap his feet and play drums on his knees while we talked about the meaning of life and Legos. 
 
How I love my son!


I hope we never stop visiting our table as long as he and I exist.
And well after that, I hope we've made a connection that lingers through generations the way we lingered over seconds of swirl ice cream with chocolate syrup and caramel all those dates at Souplantation.

"His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation."
Luke 1:50

"Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation."
Joel 1:3
