Giving Up Your Treasure
On Oprah today there was a man who had been given White Sox world series tickets. It had been 88 years or something since they had been in the world series and this guy was a big fan so these tickets were special to him. He sold them and used the money to help Katrina victims. The White Sox came on Oprah and surprised this man with all kinds of goodies. The audience went wild.
Adora asked why they gave him all those presents. I explained to her that he was being recognized and rewarded for giving away his treasure to help other people. I used Puppy Wuffy as an example (PW is like a special blankie), because she sometimes brings PW to Grace if she is upset. I explained that God sees it when you give up your treasure to others and it makes him really happy. I also explained that our rewards come from God, not Oprah.
She jumped up and went running off yelling 'I'm going to give away Puppy Wuffy right now!", and thrust PW into Gracies arms. It was so cute.
Thirty seconds later she was chasing Grace with tears streaming yelling "Give me my Puppy!"

kids are so innocent!! how precious!
LOL, sounds just like my boys!!
Ethan can be the most caring, sensitive and loving big brother. Like yesterday, on the way to Tyler's ENT appointment, Ethan was holding Tyler's hand in the car because I had told him that Tyler's ears were really sore and that he might need an operation. I nearly cried watching them, they looked so cute sitting in their car seats, holding hands across the middle seat.
But only 10 minutes into the journey, Ethan let go of Tyler's hand and that did not make his little brother happy!! Ethan said "I don't want to hold his hand anymore, it's all hot and wet!" .... so much for love!!
Kids.
