My true love gave to me, 1 cleaning trolley.
I decided to give out a few toys that would be useful here and there this month that might not be as exciting side by side with our Christmas morning presents.
I've been eyeing this toy from the Dollar Store for a year, and this week it went on sale for 15 dollars. It's a pint-sized cleaning trolley. And it was a giant hit. I showed them how to mop, and they are at this minute cleaning and mopping their room.
Dorathea was so busy I couldn't get her still for a picture. Jonathan loves to push the cart around. And put things back on the little hooks as he picked up.
The kids spent much of the morning at the VeggieTales website, watching new videos and playing games. When Dorathea found a crown she wanted on the activities page, I told her to read the advent card for today which said,
"6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this." Isaiah 9:6-7It's instructions said;
"Wear a crown today for you are a child of the king! "
Thank you Jesus, and VeggieTales for the seg-way! Now the kids are mopping, and sweeping with crowns on. :)
Their might be challenges as we are petitioning God for provision right now in our little home,
but at least their is peace and joy in our family. That's not really an at least is it? It's really the best.
Thank you Prince of Peace for being in charge of my home. I'm glad you decided to come down here to make life beautiful and bearable by being Emmanuel "God with us".
