Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Before lunch today, Hanna was playing with the Little People farm, and she said "Horses eat..." and John heard that in another part of the room, and he said "Horses eat ducks". Ha. Well, maybe the wild, carnivorous horses do.

When I went to get John from sunday school today, John said "I was the leader!" Not exactly sure what he did, the teacher said John was her helper today. Then at lunch, John said "I'm the leader, I'll say prayers", so he said grace, and then said Hanna couldn't say prayers because she wasn't the leader.

Last night we took the kids to the Macdonalds on Foley. It was a nicer play area. There were some wilder boys there though. John wanted to play with them and they must have told John to go away or something. That hurt his feelings. But, eventually they got along with each other, and played well together. They went down the slides a few times all at once. John cried when they had to leave. He just loves that kind of social interaction with other kids.
