Like Father ~ Like Son

For those of you who know Roland, you know that he is always working on a project!  Usually his Jeep or our other vehicles.  It actually is really nice to have a hubby that will tackle anything even when he knows nothing about it.  He put a used engine in his Jeep all by himself just by reading the manual! 

Anyways... The other day Jace and D'Sean were out on the deck playing.  I went out to check on them and discovered they had found Mimi's electric screw driver and were "working on their cars" just like Daddy.  I said they needed to make sure it was okay with Mimi to use her screw driver.  She said yes of course!  They have a race car, motorcycle, tractor, bike, and trike. They played so nicely for a couple hours!  When I went to check on their "progress",  I couldn't help but totally crack-up!  The deck was covered with literally a hundred screws!  The batteries were out of the cars, the tires, handle bars, and seats were laying everywhere!  So needless to say, they have been having the time of their lives...  We are working on getting their toys ride able again!

I Want to Be Just Like You

He climbs in my lap for a good night hug

He calls me Dad and I call him Bub

With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh

He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"

I tuck him in bed and I kiss him good night

Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light

And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see

He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

Lord, I want to be just like You

'Cause he wants to be just like me

I want to be a holy example

For his innocent eyes to see

Help me be a living Bible, Lord

That my little boy can read

I want to be just like You

'Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go

Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know

Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try

With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right

But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best

Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness

'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees

And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me

Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall

But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all
