Give Thanks: Day 18 - Innocence of Children

Today, we are thankful for the innocence of children. We tend to get so caught up in the seriousness of life. Sometimes we need some small reminders to give us something to laugh about. When Mike and I got home from Wal-Mart earlier, we found a rock with a message written on it sitting on our front door handle. These are rocks from our front flower bed, and I guess the kid travels with a Sharpie. Later that night after we have come and gone out the door all the rest of evening, Mike goes out to take some garbage to the can and comes back to notice a second stone sitting in front of the door. He had stepped right over it when going out. Apparently the kid regretted writing on our rocks and decided to let us know by writing on another rock. I don't know the kid. It wasn't our dog that was loose. She was safely and quietly sitting in the backyard at the time. We appreciate his efforts, but bless his heart... I want to give him a notepad. We had never had anything like this happen before, so it surprised us, but ultimately we just couldn't help but smile.
