Twelve for Dinner
LOL I know you are thinking about Martha and how she seemed to always have at least twelve stopping at her house for dinner, meetings and probably even as overnight guests. That Mary really should have been more help but after all she was sitting at the feet of Jesus. I might add I need to sit at the feet of Jesus a little more myself.
Sabbath for lunch we had twelve and six were the little people. They are funny as can be and we had so much fun just watching them. Meal time was really fun, we have one who loves to eat and we have one who pretty much only likes toast and butter.
We had lots of fun outside riding the pink jeep and playing in the sun. They love the water and especially turning on the hose and watering the sidewalk. We had lots of fun at the park.
The parents of these kids are amazing. They seem to take everything in stride. I wonder how I was as a parent, it seems I have forgotten.
