Our Song

The memory verse CD was playing “First Timothy 4:12.”

Reaching out to hold my hand, my two-year-old son was calling, “Mama! Dentz! Mama! Dentz!”

He wanted me to come dance with him. Someday I will have to explain how he dances–that’s another story–but for now, I’ll just say: we danced.

And as we “danced” (in the way that only my 2-year-old son dances), I sang to him: “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example. In speech, in conduct, and in love, in faith and purity.”

It was a prayer from my heart.

There will be a day when he doesn’t ask Mommy to dance any more. And when that day comes, I pray that the truth of this verse will live on in his life. That he will be an example to the believers in his speech, in his conduct, his love, his faith, and (in a day in which this is so rare) in his purity.

Every single time, this particular song comes on, Micah calls, “Mama! Dentz!”

It’s our song.
