Prayer

Tyler gets rated in school everyday for his behavior. E being the best and U being not so good. So yesterday he got an S, it is satisfactory but it also means that the teached had to talk to him a lot about his behavior.
At bedtime we prayed that Tyler would have a good day today and then it was his turn to pray and this is how it went:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord that I get an E,
if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Precious!

My Amazing Son

Last night, after Tyler ate a good dinner he had the option of a tootsie roll or a pack of sweettarts. He picked one of them and then he said "Mommy can we give the other one to the people that need it?" When I asked him who he was talking about he said "You know the people that don't have much to eat." He has been learning in school about Thanksgiving and why we should be thankful for what we have. The school is also collecting cans for needy families. He wanted to give his candy to the needy families. What an amazing son! When he was telling me about being thankful he quoted a scripture to me about in all things give thanks.
It is amazing to me that my 5 year old is wise in his age.
I am so proud of him for wanting to give away things and understand why we need to.

The treasure of Friendship

While I was knitting at Starbuck's last night, an old friend of mine decided to join me. We have been friends since the 6th grade. We try to talk as much as we can but life gets in the way and we get together about once a year. The greatest thing about this friendship is that we start right where we left off. Our friendship never misses a beat no matter how much time has gone by. I treasure this, so many times in life you look for these types of relationships and can't find them. I can't call her my best friend but I call her a true friend. A friend that I will always have. I will always know all about her family and her infatuation with her massage therapist.
Her friendship was blog worthy. So here's to you Emily!
