A Generous Heart

Today I noticed Micaela place a handfull of change in the offering plate. I asked her if she took that from her jar (thinking it was bicycle money). No, she giggled and pointed at me- I took it from your jar. Although I think it's pretty funny, we had a talk about taking things that aren't yours, and giving things to God that don't really belong to you. I told her about King David and Ornan's threshing floor, and she was a little embarrased. It's good to give, I said, and I'm not mad- I just want you to give what's yours. Ian wasn't much help in this situation. He just grinned and laughed. So, that's a little story to remember; although, it has lost some of it's humor and sweetness in the writing :)

Hey!
What a great Mom you are!

That is a SUPER price on the block!
Seconds at the concrete plant are .95 but they were out and that was of the 8's.
Scoop those .75 centers up. :)
I think we will be making more of these type beds really soon.
By the way, the plant is in Trenton it is called Sequatchie Concrete. It is by the dump. :)
Have a great, great day!
Love,
Chas
