JESUS is my hero

what is it about little boys and superheros?

while i was away last weekend my mom bought e.bomb spiderman pajamas. he slept in them that night, wore the top the following day and night and when i tried to get him dressed for a BBQ at his bestemor and bestefar's home he begged me not to take it off of him. we compromised and i layered a t-shirt over the top. while sound asleep after a long car ride home i stripped him of his spiderman shirt and placed it in the dirty clothes. well it turns out that i should have burried it in the dirty clothes because the next morning he brought it down for me to put on him. he did not care that it smelt like camp fire or that someone might see that he has been wearing the same thing for four days. i had a vision of this shirt melting to his skin.

as you may have alreay guessed, that didn't happen and the shirt has since been through the wash but it got me to thinking. why do children {and let's face it adults} fall head over heals for super heros? they save lives, risk their own, have x-ray vision, leap over buildings, fly through the sky, and answer cries for help. i know a hero that can do more than that and if you have known me for any length of time you probably know who i am talking about. JESUS is my hero and i pray that i pass that love onto our children. in this world there is so much to be saved from and a Hero that is all about loving those that are looking for help.
