God delighting the heart of a little boy...


When we went to Tanner's last week, we had been planning to pick apples. Aidan had been asking to do that for a very long time, and was more excited about that than almost anything else. However, we were not anticipating just how expensive everything was going to be that day! Especially since the twins, at 2, now have to pay admission costs for things as well. We made a quick decision to just do pumpkins, since not doing that would leave the greatest amount of upset little boys. Needless to say, Aidan was very disappointed. He even said later on in the week after he'd placed a found penny in his piggy bank, "now do I have enough money to go apple picking?"

Wouldn't you know though, God had a plan. On Monday we got a call from a neighbor who asked if we could use any apples, because her tree had produced way more than she could use. So, Daddy and one very excited little guy trekked across the street to pick some apples.
I love how He encourages even the youngest of hearts.
