Hardly Wrapped

"Is that how you're going to wrap Austin's present?" Clara looks on with skepticism as I curl the green ribbon with a pair of scissors.  I reassure her that he will be so excited about the pink pig (Austin LOVES the colour pink!) and the Cat and the Hat colouring poster that he will forget all about the fact there is no wrapping paper.  She is not convinced and announces she doesn't want to go to the party.  In steps Emily, who by the way has negotiating skills that would put a top billing corporate attorney to tears, manages to calm her younger sister and convince her the party is worth giving up this one detail.  Clara relents and heads to the car with her hardly wrapped present.

A Little Lesson:

     I thought I was doing great having the present ready to go, we didn't even have to do the 'Toys R Us on the way to the party' run like we usually do!  There is a saying I've always loved...

God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat 

our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily.
