This morning I went to our stake enrichment presentation of the ten virgins. It was so fantastic and uplifting. I related to many of the women and their stories. It gave me a lot to think about and things I definitely need to work on to continually keep my lamp lit. I also had the chance to have a great conversation with an amazing person. It was just a great morning.
When I got home, I just had to laugh because of the scene I walked into. Kevin and Novalie were practicing karate moves on each other. Novalie a little more aggressively than Kevin. There were fruit snacks wrappers, chips, soda, hostess pie wrappers…..
I said, “so, you didn’t go to the movie?” (there is a children’s movie series going on at one of the theatres that her school sold tickets for, today the movie was Space Chimps)
“No, we went,” was Kevin’s reply.
And then I had to laugh again because ONLY a Dad would take their daughter out looking like this….
Shirt backwards, pants (2 sizes too small) backwards, halloween socks and her hair is sticking straight up from the front pony (you can’t tell too much in the picture, but trust me it is) and her hair was in knots and not combed. AND she was wearing every necklace and bracelet that she owns (which is A LOT). She had taken those off before I snapped the picture.
It really made me laugh and I was so thankful that they had that precious time to spend together despite the fact that she looked like an orphan child.
