Today in the car my son Ezra asked me, "Mommy when we get older do we get to pick new names?".
I said, "No, you keep your name. "Why, did you want to change your name?" "Yes", he answered. "Well, what do you want your new name to be?" I asked. "Jon", he said. "Jon Ezra, I want my last name to be Ezra". Aww, my heart smiled. My husband's name is Jon.
Watching my little boy grow up it fascinates me how much he wants to be like his Dad. I think it's the sweetest thing. What he asked me today in the car reminded me of something he said a little over a year ago. He was still too little to understand the idea of wanting to be like someone. He simply said to me, "Mommy I want to be IN Daddy."
That got me thinking about this verse and how Christ is in us and we are IN Him. " For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ IN God." Col.3:3
It's like a little boy's dream come true.
