When Chunks was here, we made a little trip to Target. We’d had a big day already, but when you barely see the little person that makes your heart sing, you have to pack in all the things you want to do.


At Target, he spotted the books. Of course, being master marketers, the books for his age were down low so that he could get to them. Chunks loves books. I’ll have you know, this little boy, who was sucking on a lollipop that the lady at the Old Navy store gave him, threw his lollipop on the floor, ran over and picked up a book. (Yes, I picked up the lollipop).


Because he loves books so much, he sat on the floor and looked through them. I guess he was “reading” them, but he was really very serious about his books. One after one, he picked them up, studied them and handed them to me. So, of course, along with the toys we picked up that day, we got a really nice book.


When we got home, we plopped on the couch and read the book. He loved it! I can’t wait to see how his love for books will shape the rest of his life. I’m praying that even now, his love for books will translate into a deep love for THE BOOK, the Holy Bible. Oh...many are the contemplations of this godmother.
