Rubbing shoulders
We went to a Christmas Concert and hamburger feed tonight. Elijah sat at a table by himself, until he was joined by the warden, and then the mayor. He was right in between them. He enjoyed sitting at the power table. He felt quite comfortable there.

I'm no Rachel Ray
My cooking self esteem took 2 hits yesterday.
Josiah came home from school and I quote, “Mom, will you start making my lunch instead of me eating in the cafeteria?” “Um yea. I will. Why?” “The cafeteria is just too good and I’m getting fat.”
Then at dinner Elijah asked me, “Mom, who made the jello?” I told him I did, and he said, in all seriousness, “I didn’t know you had the ability.”
Sigh.

Crayon Soup
I made split pea soup tonight for dinner. When I stopped in to stir it I noticed some blue specks. Hmm. Split pea soup is green.
I began scooping out blue and found a blue crayon. The crayon continued melting in the scooped out portion.
I decided to continue looking for anything else odd in the soup. I also found a green crayon.
We ate the soup anyway. I'm sure crayons are mostly organic.

God provides
Our money situation is tight as usual. The boys needed bunkbeds so I spent some of my grocery money on wood so Matt could build them. A few other unplanned expenditures, the car headlight ect, left me with only 3 dollars for groceries for the rest of the week.
The kids came home from school with a project to make a gingerbread house for the Christmas program. It was going to require candy and graham crackers to make the house. My 3$ wasn't going to cover it.
Later that day I took a walk to get some exercise. I could feel God prompting me to cross the street and stop in a friends house and say hello. The friend is busy and I fought God a little thinking she's not expecting me, she's busy... but I went anyway. She was about to leave for town, but invited me in to see her Christmas tree really quick. On our way back out she said, "Oh! I bet you could do something with this! I've been wondering what to do with it." And right then she handed me a gingerbread house kit with all the candy and graham crackers.
God is faithful and is our provider.
