One of the many blessings I get from my Church is getting to work in the nursery. No, really, I enjoy it. Of course, we only have one child in the nursery at the moment, but that’s here nor there. I was working the Sunday School hour, until recently. The last three weeks, I have worked during the 11 o’clock service. There is a little girl who generally helps during that hour, whoever is working in the nursery. She likes the 2 year-old we currently have in the nursery…
Anyway, the 2 year-olds mother is pregnant again (number 8, CAN.YOU.BELIEVE.THAT?)) and is due in February. So the aforementioned little girl who likes to help in the nursery says to me, “Miss Jo, when is her new baby coming?” I tell her the due date (February 17) and she replies, “Oh, I am going to be gone that day.” So I ask her why. “Papa and Grandma are taking me to Florida that day”, she says matter-of-factly. So I said, “They are taking you that day? I don’t think so because they are leaving in January for Florida, Love.”
So we discussed when and where they were going and all that. Then I told her we were invited too, don’t we are going, but we were invited too. We were actually going to go last year for an Orlando vacation, but alas we did not. And I don’t think it’s going to happen this year for us either. I don’t think we will be doing anything like that for a while. But, I would kinda like to make it to Florida at least once…
Children say the cutest things sometimes! I have never been to Florida either Jo. There never seems to be enough money for us to take a vacation. I won’t charge anything on credit cards so we pretty much don’t travel anywhere that’s very far from home. I hold to the promise that someday I’ll live in heaven with Jesus and all my loved ones who have gone before (especially my Michael) and that will be all the vacation I will ever need! God bless you for working the nursery at your church. There aren’t a lot of people who want to do that job! Have a great week Jo and good luck with your weight loss efforts!
