Speck in Eye

Anthony had something in his eye that took some time to remove because it was so small. Later, he was still appreciating how good he felt because that speck was no longer there. Then we both remembered this verse in the Bible:


3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, Let me remove the speck from your eye; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7:2 NKJV

Adventures of Anthony - RACCOON!

Friday, we were at our cabin in Sevierville, TN. Mike & Bill Adkins had gone to Chattanooga to pick up a couple of ice cream machines for the new Sundae’s. We planned to leave just as they got back- to go to Dollywood. To save time, Anthony came down to the truck to eat the pizza they left in Ralph Morgan’s borrowed truck. We were upstairs in the cabin, about to come down.


Suddenly, Anthony ran in saying, “There’s a raccoon in the truck!” While he was eating (& watching a DVD) he looked up to see a raccoon sitting on the middle console. (Mike had left the front door open because we were coming right down.) Anthony thought at first his dad had put a Davy Crocket coonskin cap there to scare him. THEN the raccoon looked up at him with his big brown eyes. And Anthony - also seeing the raccoon’s claws stretched out on the console - took off running!

We ran downstairs, broom in hand, to chase the raccoon out of the truck.

Mike cleaned the pizza-stained seat, and Bill kindly shared his pizza with Anthony. The pictures are the raccoon enjoying the rest of the pizza!

Spring

Spring is when Mother Nature is menopausal! 
She has a hot flash, & it's 80 degrees. 
Then she cools down to 50*. 
If she's really cold (mad) it snows!
When she gets moody, there are gray skies. 
And then she gets weepy, & it's raining outside.  
But when she's in a really good mood the weather is wonderful!  

Mom, do you love me?

God loves you! He may not like some of the things you do. But he loves you!


Just like your parents love you. They may not like some of the things you do. But they love you! And, in a conversation I had with Anthony.....


Mom, do you love me?

Yes, son, I will ALWAYS love you!

What if I do something wrong?

I may like some of the things you do.  But I will still love you!

What if I ....(There were several things, & I answered the same.  Then....)

What if I kill someone?

I will still love you, son. I may not like visiting you in prison. But I will still love you!
