"And a little child shall lead them" Isaiah 11:6

Abigail & Anna at church Spring 2007

This past Saturday, we got home after midnight from a wedding roadtrip. Pulaski was 3 - 3 1/2 hours away. We were pretty exhausted from the events of the weekend: wedding rehearsal, visiting with old friends, getting naps at wierd times, and a wedding Saturday night. We expected a lot from the girls with their behavior, and as the wedding just got started, it was as if ants got into the threes' britches. A bit stressed out I was, unsuccessfully keeping them quiet and still (which they are capable of). Louis officiated remarkably well adding personal stories to our friend's ceremony. Anyhow, Sunday, I decided when we woke at 7:30 a.m. and the 3 girls were still asleep that we'd just stay home from church and not rush around getting ready. Afterall, we'd have to leave the house by 8:30 a.m. (We have two services- one at 9am, and the other at 11). Louis left for church at 8:15 and minutes later Abigail got up. We hung out in bed watching cartoons until Anna woke at 9:30. I was fully prepared to stay home in jammies ALL day! Abigail questioned the whereabouts of her daddy and was not happy with my answer of "Let's just stay home today and rest". Before I could give Abigail justification for staying home, Anna was picking out her dress. Abigail pleaded, "It's Sunday, we want to go to church". "We don't want to miss church". After all of that, we got dressed for Lovelady Church that started at 11. After I called Louis to come by and pick us up after the 9:00 Worship and was telling him the story he said, "And a child shall lead them". Thanks God for the lesson! I needed to be in church afterall!
