Day 7-there's a bird on your head

I don't really know if I can count yesterday's activity as a service, but I am marking it down:) My 10 year old was in need of a haircut, and we have seen a lot of cool haircuts that have the Seahawks logo shaved into the hair. I have always cut my boys and my husband's hair-but nothing fancy. I mean, I don't even use scissors! Well, I thought I might be able to perform this artistic do on my boy's head. I looked at some pictures and video online. It looked simple enough-for a professional. Since I am nowhere near the pro category, I told my son, "I'm just going to cut your hair normal, I don't trust myself to do the logo." And then it happened. My little boy said something that gave me all the confidence and pride I could muster. He said, "I trust you." Ok, well, that's it then. If he believes in me, then I can do it! I shaved the Seahawks logo into my son's hair. Well, I shaved a poor rendition of the logo into his hair;) But, he loves it, and was so excited to show it off-particularly to his teacher, whom he really thinks the world of. So I don't know if it's fair to count the artsy haircut as a service that I gave. I really feel like the unwavering confidence that my son has in me was the real service here. I am blessed beyond measure. It seems like a little thing, but it is huge. It confirms to me that sometimes, it doesn't take a huge gesture to show someone you care, or that you believe in them. "I love you" are 3 powerful words. Yesterday, I discovered how powerful "I trust you" can be. I think I'll use those more often.
