Parker's favorite scripture


PSALM 23
A Psalm of David
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; they rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The aftermath - September 3, 2015


The Aftermath:

I've been asking Parker for the last 2 weeks now to work on getting packed and gather up his things so his big brother can have his room when he gets home next month. Well, let's just be hones, I've been bugging Parker about cleaning up after himself for the last 8 years of my life with him. But, for some sweet reason, today it didn't bother me to find the little messes he left behind for me: 


His socks and his wallet left on the kitchen counter.
(Parker always left his dirty and his clean socks on the counter and it drove me crazy. Today this stinky, dirty pair just made me smile.)




His skateboard left right in the walk way. 
(It has been tripped over on more than one occasion by more than just me.)






His bathroom counter, left almost as if he will be here tomorrow to use these very items. 





And, his bedroom.  It speaks for itself. 

All of these were a sweet tender mercy for my heart today. Leave it to our funny Parker, always making others laugh and smile. I'm sure he's laughing knowing that I would find his room this way today and get to clean it for him..... again! 
Tyler isn't home for almost 2 months so maybe, just maybe I will enjoy his mess for a few weeks. 

Love him so much.
