Sorsey then sores and one day horse

A boy is the only thing that God can use to make a man~ I cant tell you the number of times he dresses up like this, to go play his cowboy adventures in our yard. The tire swing has become a bull ride, the broken spring horse is still used even without its springs, his bike has becomes a horse, and as he runs on foot around the imaginary barrels pretending hes riding the fasted horse in town, the unplanted gardens fresh dirt becomes a rodeo arena. One of his first words was (sorsey then sores and one day horse). This is where the nickname Little Man comes from. While most boys spend their time loving super hero's, he enjoys real life adventures. Cowboys, Indians, baseball, music, art, farming, animals, trucks and cars. (This photograph was taken a few years ago. Little Man was 7 years old. He had no idea I was there. If you look at the size/height of his shadow laying in front of him, you will then see why his hands are on his hips with his chest stuck out proud.)

Catherine,

I love this picture because it evokes so many feelings for the possibilities of what he can become and what he is thinking of. I love your quote! What a great picture to send along with that quote on a homemade Mother's Day card.

Loving it!

Stop by when you can, I miss seeing you.

Love and Hugs ~ Kat

Oh, our boys have something in common - mine has only a vague knowledge of Spider man thanks to some hand me down jammies - he is all about being a "man" - tractors, farming even standing on the piano bench and preaching to us. We can him "man cub." And every night he prays, "Dear God above for this I pray, to be a Godly man someday. Make me a man who loves you true, a man of wisdom who pleases You."

Anxious to read more of your blog.
