Did you hear it? If you heard a large breath of wind this morning at approximately 10:15, that would be me breathing a huge sigh of relief for the comlpetion of our primary program. The primary children were beautiful, special, lovely, true sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father...and much, much more. I was filled to overflowing. And believe me, overflow I did.
I am full of gratitude.
On another note, I just read this in a book of poems by Carol Lynn Pearson and I have to share.
LAMENT OF A GROUCH
I knew
That in heaven
All are happy.
But I wish
I'd known
The reason
Before:
Only
To the happy
Do they
Open the door.
My wish for today...that we could all be happy.

The List
After picking up a witches costume for Ella at the store, she was beyond excited and was trying to figure out all of the things she needed to complete the outfit.
Ella: "Mom, what other things do we need to get."
Me: "Well, we probably need some black shoes and black tights to go with your dress and hat."
Ella: "Oh, yeah...but mom, how will we remember all of those things."
Good point, there are 4 of them.
Me: "I don't know. What do you think?"
Ella: "I know!!!! Let's make a list!!!!"
Yes. Definitely. A girl after my own heart.
She spent the next 10 minutes or so drawing a picture of each item for her list on sticky notes and sticking them to the front window.
