They Always Follow Us |
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten
son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk
with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had
some independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor
if she would please follow him to school in the mornings,
staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.
She said that since she was up early with her toddler
anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise
as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set
out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with
another neighbor's girl he knew. She did this for the whole
week.
As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs,
Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following
them as she seemed to do every day. Finally she said to
Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us to school
every day? Do you know her?"
Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is."
The little girl said, "Well, who is she?"
"That's just Shirley Goodnest," Timmy replied, "and her
daughter Marcy."
"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she
following us?"
"Well," Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say
the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so
much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy
shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll
just have to get used to it!" |

"We leave our places of worship and no deep
and inexpressible wonder sits upon our faces—when we get out
into the streets our faces are one with the faces of those
who have left the theaters and music halls. There is nothing
about us to suggest that we’ve been looking at anything
stupendous and overwhelming.
"Far back in my boyhood I remember an old
saint telling me that after some services he liked to make
his way home alone by quiet by-paths, so that the hush of
the Almighty might remain on his awed and prostrate soul.
That is the element of God in our services that we are
losing." (John Henry Howett)
No Christian has a right to be depressed or
dejected; to be so is to say that God is not doing what He's
supposed to be doing.
“I am a very old man and my memory is
gone. But I remember two things: that I am a great sinner
and that Jesus is a great savior.” (John Newton) |
