THE WALL

Ben & his buddy Jeremy came up Tuesday to go to “The Basement”. They had to line up the entertainment for the August bash, but stayed with me afterward. I went to work Wednesday morning and left them sleeping. When I went home for lunch, they had left me a thank you note that said “Have fun with the bathroom”. I didn’t know what that meant but I checked the front bathroom and nothing seemed any different there. The last time they were here he left a sticker on the toilet that said, “Got Jesus?”. I went to my bathroom and the door was locked. I was bit aggravated as I did not think that was funny. I tried some drill bits but that didn’t work. Then I remembered you could get doors open with a credit card so that worked pretty good. At the end of my workday I returned home and went into my bathroom. I noticed something on the back end of my shower wall. They had taken washable crayons and drawn a cross with JEREMIAH 29.11 on it…(For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you a future and a hope) They also wrote “PRAYER LIST” above the cross. My kids names were on there along with two other names… JEREMY AND TODD… two young men who need special prayer. Then I noticed a note written on the mirror, “GO AHEAD MOM, BE A KID AGAIN, with a place to write a bible verse and an arrow pointing down to 4 crayons on the vanity top. I had been a bit down but it perked me up as I wrote, “He who began a good work in you will continue to perform it.” I was still a bit blue when I woke up this morning but when I stepped into my shower, I turned to the other end and saw a big smiley face that said, “SMILE MOM, IT AINT SO BAD.” I didn’t smile… I laughed and giggled, then laughed again.
