A bright spot in a dark world

When I turn on the news I mostly see darkness and heartache. I see a country and world that is broken. It makes my heart sad to know that this is what we live in today. But as I sit here on my blanket outside watching Jax play with a rock and a frog magnet he found in the dirt my heart smiles.

If you could look into his big blue eyes you would see the same thing I do. Joy, happiness and a love for life. He feels deeply even at 4 years old. His happiness is contagious. When he is mad you will know it and when he sad his tears cant be stopped.
Every night I pray that he grows to be kind to everyone and shows love. He truly is my bright spot in this dark world.

My hope for him is that as he grows he does not let this world tear him down like it has so many times. My hope is that he and others his age can be the change for their generation. My hope is that he always beats to his own drum and continues to have a servants heart. Even on the days he makes me want to pull my hair out I go to bed so full of love for the sweet boy who made me a Mom. My mini me in so many ways. Today and everyday he is My Handsome Jax.

This picture is the perfect example of his personality. While in Colorado we snuck away so I could take his picture by the water and he danced and laughed the whole time.
