God Moment

I find joy in many little things and can cry at pretty much the smallest things tonight, but this took the cake!

I am putting together a small scrapbook for my boys about their Great-grandparent Shoemakers. Matthew was snuggled up next to me and was looking at the pictures and he goes..."I know him."

For those that don't know...my Grandpa passed in 1998.

I asked and said..."How do you know him?"

He said..."That my Grandpa."

With a big smile on my face, I showed him another picture...all of these pictures are from way before even my time!!

I again asked..."Who is that?"

He said..."Bob, my grandpa!"

I started crying. I talk about their great-grandpa often, but not in great details. I will say things like..."Your Great-grandpa would have loved you so much!" I say this when they are being goofy and I can picture grandpa sitting here smiling!

I asked further..."How do you know who that is?"

Matt said..."I see him."

I asked..."Where did you see him?"

"In my head!"

Then I started telling him about how Grandpa went to live with God way before Matthew was ever born.

Then Matthew said something that stopped my heart..."Momma, he was with God when I see him!"

Now, I'm not a quack, and it's not like I take what a 4 year old tells me to heart, but it was just one of those perfect moments.

For those that don't know...Matthew was named after his great-grandpa...Matthew Robert!
