Sweaty

A boy I watched finished a marathon race for ages 4 and up. His mom said he did great and asked him how he felt. He said sweaty. =)

Family Friendly Joke

Why are frogs always happy? Because they eat what bugs them... Thanks to one of the twins I watch for the joke. =) The best.

Always Welcome

The other day I was watching two boys and let them know about the symbolism in Psalm 23 when it says, "He anoints our head with oil, cup overflowing." The cup overflowing refers to a Jewish tradition that showed etiquette for how long guests should stay. There were one cup, two cup, three cup, etc. to overflowing guests. Whenever a guest's cup ceased to be refilled, that was a person's cue to leave. With God we have an overflowing cup and are always welcome. Wow. Well one of the boys asked what would happen if we did not drink the cup; I said we would be missing out and affirmed that was a great question. The other boy said he wondered how many bathrooms God had. =) PS I learned about the overflowing cup from Rob Koke at Shoreline church in Austin, TX.

New Definition

The other day I was watching two seven year old boys and talking with their nana. One of the boys walked in from watching television in the other room, pointed at me, and said, "Christian Mingle. Heard of it?" "Yes I have," was my reply. "Good," he said and then went back to watching a show on cable in the family range. Later in the car I thought about it and laughed out loud. His nana and I had laughed after he shared also. I told her I had asked the boys to pray that the right man find me. Well, in the car after laughing aloud, they asked why I laughed. I said I laughed about the Christian Mingle comment. One of the brothers asked what Christian Mingle was. His brother said, "Christian Mingle helps you find your place with God." His brother replied,"I need to find my place with God." They are seven. =) PS I assure them God loves them lots so whatever there place is they should know they are very loved.
