Shirley Goodnest and Marcy
A mom was concerned about her kindergarten
son walking to school. He
didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the
feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor, Mrs.
Goodnest, if she would please follow him to school in the mornings,
staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her.
Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler
anyway,
it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she
agreed.
The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy,
set out
following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another
neighbor boy
he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs,
Timmy's little
friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do
every
day all week.
Finally he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady
following us to
school all week? Do you know her?"
Timmy nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, I know who she is".
The friend said, "Well, who is she"?
"That's just Shirley Goodnest", Timmy replied, "and her daughter
Marcy".
"Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following
us"?
"Well", Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the
23rd Psalm
with my prayers, 'cuz 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.
