When little boys tell their Dads that girls are "gross..."  Their Dads nod and smile those knowing smiles...because they know....

When the underclassmen proclaim that THEY will never act the way that the upperclassmen act when they are that age.... Their teachers stand back.. smiling and nodding.  Because we know....

When young brides and grooms-to-be talk about what THEIR marriage will be like.... those who have been married for years... THEY know...

Expectant parents... those who proclaim that THEY will have delightful children who sleep through the night, and only in their own beds....children who speak French and are so polite and well behaved... Those of us sleep-deprived co-sleepers who have rotten little heathens...  We smile and nod... because we know.

When my mom pictured being there as her grandsons grew up, graduated from college... and became professional atheletes who were ballroom dancing doctors in the off-season...  When she thought of beautiful Kyleigh... walking down the aisle as a blushing bride... right before being elected our first female President...

I wonder... did God sit back and nod...and smile that knowing smile?
