A gift of words

As I tucked Elijah into bed last night.  I made a point to look him in the eyes and tell him, "You're a great kid!"

As his little head is poking out of his blanket, he holds me by the chin with one hand and blesses me with his words.

"Mom, I like your hair" (He had just witnessed me trimming my bangs), then he goes on...
"You have beautiful eyes...."  "You always dress so pretty."

A wave of warmth soared through my body.  This kid has the gift of encouragement.

"Good night Elijah, you're a great kid."
