Lessons in Perspective

Today's lesson comes courtesy of some friends. Our friends have choir practice for the Passion Play this morning. Because it's a Saturday, the church is not providing child care/babysitting/whatever your want to call it.

Since our kids and their kids are such good friends, it was a no-brainer for us to invite them over for a mid-morning play date. 5 minutes after the number of children in the house doubled, I just started laughing. My wife looked at me and asked what was so funny.

I told her "Most people look at us and say 'Oh my! You have four kids?!?!?' At this moment, I'm thankful we ONLY have four kids."

Perspective, it's good to have some.
