Good Morning!

Here is a cute/touching story as you start your day
today.  Trust all went well yesterday and that you are
resting comfortably today.

My son (Jared-5) came up to my wife yesterday and as
sincerely as he could said, "Mom, I'm concerned about
something!"  So, Julia calmly said, "Okay honey, what
are you concerned about."  In Jared fashion, he went
and sat down, wiggled a couple of times to get
comfortable, straightened up (he is our fastidious and
faithful/consistent child) and began to tell her. 
"Mom, you know those people we met a few days ago, the
Morehouses?  Well, I am concerned that they don't have
a place to sleep.  Do you think that they should live
with us when we move there?"  "What do you mean,
honey?" was Julia's reply.   "Well, when we were there
and we saw their house, I didn't see any beds.  I saw
desks and tables and chairs, but no beds.  Where do
they sleep?"

Julia went on to describe that the place they saw when
Susan gave them a tour was not their home, but their
office building.  In Jared's mind, an office building
should have beds like the Mission for people to sleep
in.  She had to describe that you had a different
house down the street, the one where they let Susan
off at on their tour of the neighborhood.  It seemed
to put his mind at ease, although I don't think we
have heard the last of his processing.

I can't tell you how precious that little story was to
me.  Not only is he our fastidious kid, but weeks
later he had not reconciled how you all sleep at night
and finally had to let us know.  We know him as our
sensitive kid as well!  All he has ever known is the
Mission and how we help people who don't have homes
sleep at night.  It is amazing what kids pick up and
how they process it!  I praise God for the example
that he has seen this far in his little journey!

I thought that might kick start your day with a little
smile.  This weekend is an extremely full one for us. 
We have our church's 2 year anniversay celebration
tonight and tomorrow.  I don't expect to have a lot of
free time.  I will be reviewing things and jot notes
along the way as I think of them.

God Bless and have a great day!
