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."
