simple homework

So my son, Jack, had a homework assignment the other day. Each week they learn 5 new words and they do a different exercise with the words each day. Thursday he was required to use each word in a sentence. I didn't check his work. I only check his work when the teacher specifically asks that way he will learn to be responsible for himself. Anyway, each Friday his teacher sends home all the work they did for the week. Last night as I was going through his papers this is what I found:
************************************************************************
Use each of the following words in a sentence: careless, house, beautiful, how, like.

(Jack wrote the following)

1. I am careless.
2. I live in a big house.
3. My mom is very beautiful.
4. How did you do it?
5. I like them alot.
**************************************************************************

I was a little weepy over it. I tried to contain myself and went to ask Jack about it. I said," I saw your homework."
He smiled and said,"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Well, Mom, it's true. You are very beautiful."

Are you teary yet? Sons. They really love their mommies.

After a day like yesterday, I think God gives you moments like these to let you know that you're doing allright and love will always prevail.
