Our three sons are amazing to their young, proud, blessed, thankful parents.
We don't have a ton of time to write but we wanted to record here how wonderful they are.  We are so grateful for the relationships we have with them at this point.  We are sharing our love for them and for the Lord, our brokenness and need for reconciliation to each other and to God, through Jesus' death and resurrection, and we are sharing with them how we can relate to them: when they're mad, sad, happy and when they sin and how it hurts us all.

Elliot and I cried together toward the end of Big Hero 6 tonight-- for me (Chris), it was incredible to share sadness with my 5 year old son and to feel the pain of someone losing a friend as the friend sacrifices himself for the good of others.  He identified tonight that Baymax gave his life for his friend (and also for a stranger) just like Jesus gave his life for us-- because of love.  Hiro didn't deserve to be saved, he had bad intent during much of the story and Baymax (though a programmed robot) was basically blameless, giving, and ultimately self sacrificing.  Elliot also remembered Baymax saying bye to Hiro was just like ET saying goodbye to Elliot.  It was unforgettable tonight to share sadness together and then to remember together the joy of being saved.
