It's not to early to get excited for Christmas, is it? I know Thanksgivings tomorrow...but....ONLY 32 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Yum!
I had a great weekend, how about everyone else?
Can you believe it's actually snowing? I love snow! :::sticks out tounge::: I walked to the libary today, it was so much fun! (besides the fact that my fingers were frozen!)
I had my Fall Choir Concert yesterday, it was so much fun! I was a bit nervous, but maybe that had more to do with my 3 1/2 inch heels more than anything else!
Oh, looky what I got in the mail! A cute story!
Lunch With God
There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.
She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
I hope you all find things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Just think, 3 billion people of the world are starving, so be thankful you all get a Turkey! Or, if your a vegie-only-eater, you get tofu!
Love,
