The oldest has a shoe in either hand and is invading the kitchen.
"No, no. no," said the father very quickly as he observed the strange behavior.
The oldest began to stutter a bit and used every ounce of concentration to say something quickly before the father would put a stop to this new adventure. "But I'm trying to locate them," she said as we looked down to notice that she had sorted all the shoes downstairs in the kitchen in a very nice semi-circle.
What was the father to do? He laughted and let her "locate" till her hearts content and then helped her put them all away when the game was over.
Life is funny. One minute you are having a pleasant conversation with your husband and the next thing you know you have a prentend bowling alley of shoes in your kitchen. But sometimes we have to let go, stop trying to control everything and trust. Trust ourselves, trust our spouses, trust God.
Easy to say. A lifetime challenge to practice.
