Bootsey's Picnic
© Ellen Lebsock      

As Bootsey and Bobby Jo began their prayers, they were both thinking things really were wonderful when somebody who loved you was there to keep you safe.
Bootsey was just saying, "God, bless Bobby Jo and Aunt Holly and Wendell and..." when an excited smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Today was just like our story, Auntie!"
Peeking up from her prayers Bobby Jo nodded.  Then she asked, "Auntie, do you really think Jesus loves us and takes care of us when we're alone and scared like we were today?"
"Yes, darling.  I'm sure He does. 
Remember our story said Jesus hugged and blessed the children.  He loves you even more than I do, and that's a whole lot. 
Now, jump into bed, and sleep tight.
As Aunt Holly turned out the light she laughed softly to herself.
Then she told the girls,
"Perhaps if tomorrow is warm and fine,
we'll go on a picnic!"
 

I think they really did have a 
WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY.
Don't you?
