Amen!!

We are home and the chaos begins.  When we got home we went up to Kristene's to pick up our dogs.  Sandy, our Cocker, wouldn't come out from underneath their porch.  She has been deathly afraid of Chris, since she was a puppy, and we have no idea why.  He trys to give her treats, but nothing has helped.  She seems to have gotten worse and this time was really bad.  No matter what I did she wouldn't come out, so we sat on the porch and she finally came up and Kristene grabbed her.  She is very skittish anyway, but this is ridiculous.  We came home and fed the dogs, then Bill took me over to Janene's, because we were going to go to Kenn. High, for a concert, that Reese was in.  We went early because Reese had forgotten to bring his instrument home and so he was going to ask his teacher if he, teacher, was going back to the middle school and could he, get his instrument.  He wasn't going, so, Janene got on the phone and a friends son plays the same instrument and he loaned him his.  Janene at the same time was in a very long line waiting to buy Kareen's class ring and also pay for her cap and gown.  She was in line for an hour, and got done just in time for the concert.  The concert was an hr. and a half long, way too long.  Reese's group was up next but we couldn't stay because she had to get Emily to a swim lesson at 8:00, so we left.  She got to her lesson on time, Reese got to  play, but we didn't get to see him  :-(  and she got the items ordered for Kareen.  Two out of three isn't bad for an eve.  This is an example, in the life, of the Law family.  I was happy to get home and relax.


PRICELESS MOMENTS
One afternoon I came home and was very upset to find a terribly messy front room and kitchen.  I began to scold all the children in sight.  "Look at this mess!  Books on the floor!  Crumbs everywhere!  An apple core on the piano!"  Aaron spoke up.  "Well-don't just look at it that way, Mom.  Look at all the clean places there are!  See-here's a clean place!  And there's a clean place!"  Look for the clean places.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand, where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.  But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it".
