A Word of Pride
This is a touching story with a strong message.
It was one of those unexpected moments in parenting when you are able to break through and possibly make a lasting difference in the life of one of your children. It seems moments like these just happen—they are never planned or expected but occur when circumstances suddenly align.
I was installing a motion detector light on the front of our house. My 9-year-old daughter was standing beside the ladder watching. Occasionally, she would hand me a tool or ask a question. No big deal, really. Then I realized I needed to run to the hardware store to buy an electric box. They cost less than a dollar, but I didn’t have one and had no choice but to drive around the loop to get it.
That’s when it happened. Savannah wanted to ride with me. So we hopped into my truck and began our quest. The good thing about a trip like this is there is time for conversation. No one is in a big hurry or fretting about the trip. It’s a great chance to talk and listen, so that’s what we did.
