Adventures in Andyland

Here are some recent quotes from my 3 1/2 year old Andy:
"This is gorgeous!" (When he thinks something is cool)
"Mom you is gorgeous" (when he thinks I did somenthing cool, not the litreal meaning unfortunately)
"When me dies you will have to take me to the doctor in Albuquerque." (a bit alarming)
" When me die you have to go to the store to buy a new Andy" (again, alarming)
"Mom, me wuvs you" (Me wuvs him too)

Quote from I am a mother

I liked this quote I read today
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that he is building quite a different house that the one you thought of-throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace" (Mere christianity, 205 C.S. Lewis)
I just thought this was ironic for me right now since literally my roof is leaking and the plumbing had to be repaired in my bathroom. Even though my house isn't a "palace" maybe I can trust Him to make one inside of me.
