Thessa what?


I love to listen in on my kids conversations. I was driving the kids to Awana's last night and I see in the rear view mirror Chloe throwing her pencil across the back seat and cross her arms and then get the "Look"! Which the " Look " is her furrowed eyebrows/angry face. So I ask her what is wrong? And she tells me that she just can't get her memory verse remembered. And that one word is sooo hard it just keeps leaving my head. (the word was Thessalonians that is even hard for me to say) I just encouraged her to do her best and if she can't get it this week we will try again next Wednesday. Well, she stilled looked madder than a hornet in the backseat. So I keep driving. Then I hear Campbell tell her "That word is even hard for me to say but Chloe I know you can do it just keep practicing. Let me help you Matthew, Mark, Luke, John," etc....... then she cheers up and starts to say it with him. ( she had to say all the books of the New Testament) I was just driving and smiling and thanking the Lord for my precious children who do love one another and want to see each other succeed. I dropped her off to her class and told her I would pray she could do it and to just try her best.

Well, I picked her up from her class and she was so excited she was able to say it and even that hard word!

I love that story!! It's always nice to hear them encouraging each other. Tell her the other momma Heidi is soooo proud of her.
I also forgot to tell you, our daughters are planning on designing jewelry together!! Chloe made Hannah a bracelet and now their imaginations are running wild with ideas. I love those 2 together, they are such sweeties. Were doing good girl!
