What I love about you!!

Last time we were in Logan we were lucky enough to be there at the same time as Stacey and her family. Though her family brings a little craziness with them they always bring alot of fun. This visit was no exception. The kids played, they played, and played and when we were ready to leave, of coarse Matayia could not find one of the many trinkets she was planning on taking home. Of coarse the tears started to flow and everyone started to look for the lost truck. Without any hesitation Josh piped in "she can have mine!" he walked over to Matayia with her tears flowing and handed her his truck telling her she could have it. No one asked him to give up his truck, no one expected him to give up his truck, he saw that his friend was sad and he wanted to make things better. This is what I love about Josh, not that he gives my kids his toys, but that he genuinely cares for others. This is not the first time Josh has done something like this and I am sure this will not be the last. I often watch Josh from the background, he truly is so sweet, he thinks of others before himself and accepts everyone for who they are. I watch how sweet he is to his little sisters, how accepting he is of some, maybe younger more abnoxious cousins and how he would do anything of Matayia.
I notice you Josh, I notice your many great talents. I love you Josh. I often wish I could be more like you, so willing to give to others who are feeling sad. I think of what a great friend you are, what a great brother you are, what a great boyfriend you will be, and someday what a exceptional father you will become. I look forward to the day you become a missionary because at the young age of just 8 you truly know what it means to "try to be like Jesus" Thanks Josh for just being you. We love you.
