Buzz Lightyear

So, it is harder to keep up to date than I expected!!!

We have a had a little friend who has been in the hospital. He is doing better now, and we hope there will be no long term complications. Anyway, while he was at the hospital, he discovered Buzz Lightyear! When he got home, his parents went on a desperate search to find Buzz (with no luck). I asked Andrew if he was willing to give up one of his Buzz's and take to Hunter. He said yes. It helps that some of his love for Buzz is being replaced by the Power Rangers (something that breaks my heart). Anyway, when we were getting out of the car, I overheard him hugging Buzz saying, "Bye Buzz, I am going to miss you." Yes, I cried, and was very proud of him.

On his last birthday, his friend Jonathan gave him his Buzz that they do not make any more, and Andrew loves! We tried to teach him about sacrificial gifts, and how they are the best gifts, and that is the gift God gave us when Jesus died on the cross. That was in August, and I assumed that went in one ear and out another. But later that day (after giving Hunter his Buzz), Andrew said, "Mom, now I have 2 sacrificial gifts." I was so proud!!!

If only we could all give as sacrificially, purely, and innocently as God and children.
