Happy Easter All

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school
since he didn't want his mother to walk with him. She had an
idea of how to handle it. She asked her good friend if she
would follow him to school, staying at a distance so he wouldn't
notice her.

The friend said since she was up early with her toddler anyway,
it would be a good way for them to get some exercise, so she
agreed. The next school day, the friend and her little girl set
out following Timmy as he walked to school with another
neighborhood boy he knew. She did this for the whole week.

As the boys walked along, kicking stones and chatting, Timmy's
little friend noticed the same lady following them. Finally he
said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us to
school all week? Do you know her?"

Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yes, I know who she is."

The friend said, "Well, who is she?"

"That's just Shirley Goodnest and her daughter Marcy,"
replied Timmy.

"Shirley Goodnest? Who's the heck is she and why is she
following us?" asked his friend.

"Well,” Timmy explained, "every night my Mom has me say the 23rd
Psalm with my prayers cause she worries about me so much. And
in the Psalm, it says, "Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow
me all the days of my life" so I guess I'll just have to get
used to it!"

May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
