Maybe It Needs Batteries

I have learneds so much from my daughter. I think two year olds have a fasinating view of life and can teach us so much if we pay attention. Here are some things I have learned recently.
1. Take a harmonica to bed with you--Barbie likes music after dark.
2. There IS a difference between CANDY and CHOCOLATE--well duh!
3. Everything you say can and will be repeated against you.
4. A toddler may smell different from a newborn, but they still are wonderful to snuggle with.
5. Wearing high heels even makes a toddlers calves look so good we should go show the neighbors.
6. Playing outside will cure anything, especially if the water hose is on!
7. While using goggles, you can see bears.
8. Anything that is broken, just might need batteries. For example, if the faucet in the upstairs bathroom won't turn on, "maybe it needs batteries"

One year ago,today, on Labor Day, a co-worker of hubby's got very drunk at a work party. Because of my policy against drinking and driving we brought her to our house. They sat on the back porch and continued to drink and smoke while I went inside and tidied up the guest bathroom, put fresh sheets on the guest bed, and laid out clean towels. I went out and talked with my guest who was feeling down because she felt there was no God and if there was he did not love her. I told her there was nothing she could do to keep God from loving her and invited her to my church because it is different. I was sure she could find God's love.
The next week she slept with my husband and broke my heart.
