Priorities

JC is my nephew.  Below is a conversation we had while decorating cookies last fall. He was in first grade at the time.
Me:  “JC, what’s your favorite subject in school?”
JC:  “Lunch and playground.”
Me:  “What’s your girlfriend’s name?”
JC (giggling): “Auntie M I don’t have a girlfriend.” 
Me:  “Then who’s your best friend?”
JC: “I have LOTS of best friends.”
Me:  “Tell me about them.”
J.C.  “Well God is my first best friend....”
I wasn’t listening anymore.  I was pondering the wisdom out of the mouth of babes.  And I wondered.....  If asked, would God be listed as my first best friend? I certainly hope so.  Who’s your ‘first’ best friend?
Peace,
md
