SHIRLEY GOODNEST...enjoy.........

 

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.
