Shirley Goodnest & 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 if she would please follow him to school in
the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably
wouldn't notice her. She 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, the neighbor and her little girl
set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school
with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for
the whole week.

As the two 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 she 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 little girl 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.
