On a side note today we were supposed to have our house shown at 4:00 so I laid the kids down for a nap early so I could clean and get the house ready. They were tired from VBS so they went down without any convincing. About thirty minutes into it we had a rough storm come through and knocked out our power along with a good bit of North Greenwood. When the kids woke up and the house was dark and quiet I explained to them our electricity was out while they sat on the sofa eating their snack. I explained to them that everything that was plugged into the wall would not work when the power is out like the refrigerator and stove and lights and so on... Camden looked at me when I finished and said "so just tell me Mama, will the TV work or not?". That girl cracks me up.
On a much more somber note Marvin's 17 year old cousin was killed in an automobile accident in Collierville yesterday. We will be going to the celebration of her life on Saturday. Please say a prayer for the family of Courtney Sheffield she leaves behind two sisters and two precious parents. I can't begin to imagine what they feel. After losing Daddy and 3 of my grandparents I thought I knew what loss was but the moment Camden was placed in my arms I knew this was a different love than I'd ever experienced before. This feeling made God sending His son to die for me all the more amazing and powerful. Our days are numbered on this earth and only God knows the number. Cherish your family during the time you having with them.
