Good Friends and Chicken Poop

The Acton Family recently enjoyed the company of the Case Family, and I have been reaquainted with a few life lessons.  Here's a short recap:

1. Good friends, new or old,  can enjoy each other's company over a shared meal or a shared chore and have a grand time.
2. When two or more boys associate, they will turn any portable object into a gun or a sword and have a glorious time bashing each other with it.
3. If eight children play together, then adult conversations will never be concluded.  
4. I envy the way children can gravitate toward one another and become bosom buddies within fifteen minutes.  
5. Presbytery always takes longer than expected.

Our new friends gifted us with their presence in our home Monday and Tuesday, and then before they left they gave me a tube of Chicken Poop Lip Junk, (ilovechickenpoop.com)  inspired by my joking that I planned on giving said fertilizer as gifts for Christmas in Mason jars with little gingham squares around the lid.   Truly, it is a blessing when friends find each other through God's grace.

We hope that all our good friends can come and visit, and please, remember to bring some Mason jars.
