Let's Talk Turkey

I had planned a short break from blogging to concentrate on turkeys.  Both these:

and these:

But somedays words are uttered that  you just can't help but sharing.

Tonight I introduced myself and the Yahoos to 'The Never Ending Story.'  Have you seen it?  Me either.

It was a little intense for Little Middle.  But we managed through.  I also instructed him that if he did have a bad dream he should find his Daddy. ;) Anyway, during the scene where the main kid --- you know the one.  I can't remember his name.  Oh well, names are overrated.  Anyway, the kid who is reading the story.  He is granted a wish from the Princess.  Ninja Yahoo says the following:

"Wish for a mom!  Wish for a mom! They are the greatest things ever!"

And for this I am truly thankful. 

Recognition and honor is not why  we do what we do.   But it is such a sweet reward to hear these words pour off our offspring's lips.  Unrequested. Without prompting.  Straight from the heart.

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

Proverbs 16:24

And because it is so true.  Moms are the greatest thing ever!  My mom certainly is, as is her mom, and hers before.

So thank you, Ninja Yahoo, for reminding us that this Thanksgiving one of our greatest treasures is in our wonderful mothers.
