$\"\"$ <\/a>Me, to the 3-year-old, as I toss some things in a box: \u201cWe are going to get rid of some of your toys, before you get new stuff for Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nme: \u201cExactly! Who taught you about that, somebody at church?\u201d
\nKid: \u201cNo, you did!\u201d<\/p>\n

The joy for the day: that sometimes they listen. That sometimes, the good stuff sinks in. That \u201chome\u201d and \u201cchurch\u201d are not utterly separate places. And that we have more than enough to share.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
