Kids Say...
The girls were wanting to walk the 1/4 mile down to the Bishops house to say "Hello." Mom told them they had to have someone older with them to go. When they questioned why they couldn't go alone, Mom replied that "Someone might kidnap them."
Then Aubrie said "Who kidnaps on Sunday!? In the middle of nowhere!"
We all had a good giggle about it.
Conversation between Mom and Lexi:
Lexi: Why was Nathan born with "Over Reactive Syndrome?"
Mom: What? What's Over Reactive Syndrome?
Lexi: You know, where you over react to everything. Ben said Nathan was born with it.
Spiritually Speaking...
We had a pretty big "Tender Mercy" from the Lord! Nathan had recently sat on Ben's glasses, and while they weren't broken into pieces, they were significantly bent and wouldn't sit on Ben's face very well. I figured that our warranty had just barely expired and so was trying to make them work for a little bit longer before taking Ben in for a new pair. Well, on last Tuesday I just kept having this persistent feeling to call the Eye Doctors and to order my contacts (I was waiting for our next paycheck to order them) but the feeling would NOT go away! Finally, after not being able to focus on anything else I decided I'd better follow the promptings and call the Eye Doctor. After ordering my contacts (which to my great surprise only came to $18 after Insurance!) I felt very strongly that I should have them check on when Ben's eyeglasses warranty expired (and explained that I thought it had already passed, but that I'd really appreciate if they'd double check for me). You can imagine my surprise when she came back on the line telling me that his warranty was still in effect and would expire THE NEXT DAY!! Needless to say, Ben and I hurried down and after they took a look at them, they agreed that he'd need a new set of frames and that the lenses looked pretty scratched so they ordered new lenses as well! I felt soooo grateful that I listened to the promptings that I had been given and was able to get a whole new set of glasses for Ben!
