Thank God For Children Saying Grace...

A friend of mine who owns a floral shop here locally had an article in her recent newsletter I like to share with you, because it is touching!

Thank God for children saying grace...

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

Along with the laughter of the other customers nearby I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why I never!"

Hearing this my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?" As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?" My son asked. "Cross my heart." The man replied. Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his Sundae and without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already."

Thunder Run - Similar To Design by James Hautman

Thunder Run bedding - a design similar to the art work "Band of Thunder" by famous artist James Hautman.

For a few years now we have been barraged with this question: "When is someone going to come out with a bedding design similar to the Band of Thunder bath [that features the artwork of James Hautman]?"

In case you were wondering the same question, the answer is: "They finally have."

Check out the Thunder Run bedding at HorseBedding4Kids.com.

Checking with the manager, they expect "Thunder Run" to sell out quickly based upon the popularity of the bathroom accessories (Band of Thunder).

Have a great time shopping and let the Thunder Roll, er - um, I mean, let the Thunder Run!

Organization in a House Overrun By Kids

Children are a delight that can bring wonder, beauty, and joy into your life. But they also bring messes, lots of them, and they can wreak havoc with the organizational integrity of your home. Luckily, there is hope, and with a few changes to the environment you can help to ensure that your home remains calm, cool, and clutter free.

Children will do anything and everything you can imagine, and a lot of things that you can’t. Things will be moved, things will be taken, things will be played with and things will be broken. That is the nature of children, and there isn’t much you can do about it. That is why it is so important to get them involved with maintaining the tidiness and organization of the home.

The first thing you have to do is make sure that cleaning up is really, really easy. Storage bins should be big, clearly labeled, and scattered everywhere that the child plays. If they bring toys into the living room there should be a bin in there, if they play in the kitchen there should be a bin in there. In fact, there should be a set rule limiting them to playing and bringing toys only into those rooms that have the bins. This will allow you to separate play areas from living areas, thus giving you greater control over the entire house.

Another important way to motivate the kids to participate is to make cleaning up as fun as possible. Try turning it into a game of basketball where they score points for successfully tossing a toy in, and where they can even take turns defending the basket from one another.
The use of bright and colorful storage receptacles is another way to liven up the cleaning process. Decorate organizational items with stickers, or use chalkboard paint to make them an interactive toy in their own right. Brightly colored construction paper can make boxes look like giant presents.

As far as the space itself, in a child filled house it will be easiest to keep things neat and organized if you follow a minimalist approach. The more decorative items that you spread about, the more likely one of them will be moved, knocked over, or simply broken. Accidents are often unavoidable, so prevent them by not having anything to break.

Those items that you do want to display should be protected in cabinets, preferably those with glass doors so that they have some defense but are still visible.

Wall items such as posters or works of art are prone to the same dangers as anything else, but since they are flat and are hung relatively high on the wall, they tend to be safer than smaller objects such as statues and figurine. Kids are also less likely to try and play with a portrait on a wall than an item sitting on a shelf.

It isn’t always easy trying to maintain an organized home when you have children running around and playing with everything. By shaping your home in such a way that it has a natural tendency to be organized, you will make its maintenance easier on yourself and the kids.
