In your heart you plan your life. But the Lord decides where your steps will take you. Proverbs 16:9

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything
Thy goodness sends.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

chapstick thief

Our youngest daughter, Ms. P, LOVES (words cannot describe) Chapstick! She will get it out of our nightstands any chance she gets. Normally, when she finds a Chapstick, she will proceed to smear it on her lips until someone notices and takes it away. Yesterday was not the case. She came to tell me something. She said:

"There, mom (lifting up her shirt). That's better...that's much better mom...the chapstick feels MUCH better on my tummy. I just used a little bit. But, we don't put chapstick on our tummy..." (as if correcting - and contradicting - herself!).

Oh my - you should have seen the goop all over her belly! She suggested we use a diaper wipe to get it all off...that kind-of worked...the chapstick was totally ruined and had to be thrown away, so our stash is dwindling and the kind of chapstick we buy is very hard to find for some reason! The stores are always out of it! Hopefully she never tries that again!
