a burger tree

Dearest Littles,

Today was crazy busy.  So crazy that I "forced" you to watch two movies on the big screen in the sanctuary at church and "made" you eat at Burger King for lunch.

While we were taking our lunch break, Josiah picked off 4 or 5 sesame seeds from his hamburger bun.  He reached out and matter-of-factly informed me that he was going to plant them and grow a burger tree.  It didn't even take 5 seconds for him to read my face before he said, "Can that happen?"

I love all of the possibility that floats around in your heads.  I miss that part of childhood before you know what all the limits are.  When sesame seeds can grow burger trees and jumping far enough out of a swing can send you into orbit.

Hold onto all those beautiful possibilities.  Some limits may be true.  (Josiah, you can't grow a burger tree.)  But SO many possibilities are just that; possible!  Don't let anyone put limits on who you can become.  Stay focused on the dreams that move you forward.  Practice all the things that make you better.  And work your hardest to close the gap between possibility and reality.

Shoot, forget what I said before....Josiah, go grow a burger tree!

SO much love,

Mom
