Afterward, Wade had asked Nathan, “Do you see how you can solve any problem when you want to?”

“Yeah,” Nathan had answered, “well, yeah, except I know I can’t lift a car…”

How like Nathan. He is so exact and tries to immediately think about any exception that may exist to any statement or principle.

But now Nathan picked up tellingrepparttar story, “Yeah,” he laughed, “I told Daddy there was no way I could lift a car!”

I was all ears.

“So, Daddy said I could do anything I wanted and took me over torepparttar 109159 car and I liftedrepparttar 109160 car.”

What! Nathan lifted a car? Did Wade tap into some type of mental super-strength for my child to liftrepparttar 109161 front of a car?

“So,” I asked, wide-eyed, “how exactly did you liftrepparttar 109162 car?” I wasn’t really sure I was prepared forrepparttar 109163 answer!

“It was easy,” Nathan said with sparkling eyes, “I put a jack under it and pumped it up.”

“That’s wonderful!” I exclaimed, amazed at my husbands lesson. It was actually two lessons: 1. You can solve any problem, and 2. Think beyondrepparttar 109164 obvious.

I needed that lesson. When I was thinking about lifting a car,repparttar 109165 only thing in my mind was someone putting their two hands underrepparttar 109166 bumper and lifting it up. But in actuality, using your mind to come up with a solution is more powerful.
