Pride Aside... Praise Uprise!
This morning the kids were playing together so well that it made this Grammy happy! I think the kids played together 4 hours without whining, crying or complaining! I'm praising at the risk of sounding proud because I can honestly say this doesn't happen every day and it sure seems like it was an extra measure of needed grace...
Tab was brushin teeth and takin names...
before the purse panic.
It was a blessing to have a peaceful morning because Tab and the kids had a play date with some friends and 5 minutes before leaving Tab realized her purse was missing!
TAB'S PURSE WAS MISSING!!!
Gone! Gone! Gone!
(Can I get a witness about the temptation to freak
about a missing purse?)
We looked everywhere high and low and in the most ridculous of places about 10 times each (which took an hour and 1/2 and much freaking out... and prayer) before Tab found it under a jacket in a reasonable enough, but overlooked and out of the ordinary place! After some whoops and shouts of praise to God and I dare say a few tears of relief, the kids picked up on the jubilation of something lost being found and being able to move on with plans!

Glad Tab found her purse! Whew! I bet she was panicking just a bit! I would.
Missing purses are the worst. Glad it was found!
I do know what you mean!
Oh to revel in childlike joy and of for the lost to be found!
and I love-love kids playing well together. In our house getting-along is a priority. You should be proud, you are blessed!
on that note I have to brag a little:My girls went to 4H camp this past weekend where they were in separate groups; each group had to make a paper sack puppet of someone they admired. My girls made puppets of each other. This is the kind of stuff that makes a mama's heart happy. I thank God everyday for this kind of unmerited grace...believe you me I do not deserve such a gift.
