I was pretty proud of Eli today! Let me tell you why. We dropped off the boys at school this morning and then headed to our Farmer Church. I usually meet on Tuesday mornings with another lady to pray! Eli and Maddie play in the nursery during our prayer time.
Because of the bad weather yesterday, we moved our prayer time to this morning! Everything went well and we said good-bye to Marilyn after praying together, then we headed across the street to visit Ms. Shirley at the Farmer Post Office.
On our way over, Eli said, "Mom we haven't visited Ed and Marion in a long time, can we go see them today?". I hesitated a little because we hadn't called ahead, but decided that after visiting Shirley I would go to Ed and Marion's door and see if they were up for company. They are a part of our Farmer church but have been unable to attend for a couple of years. We have missed them and our family enjoys visiting them! Eli was so excited that they invited us in!
Eli climbed right up on the couch beside Ed and talked away. I'm pretty sure Ed couldn't understand all he was saying, but Eli had stories to tell! Pretty soon Maddie got comfortable enough to join them on the couch!
really they started to get a little too comfortable and I decided we better get going. I wasn't sure how much "chaos" Ed and Marion could handle and I could tell both Maddie and Eli were getting very comfortable!
We said our goodbyes and gave some hugs!
Then we made one other visitation, per Eli's request (I forgot to get a picture). I was just so proud of him to suggest we visit some of our shut-ins. I can't imagine there are too many 5 year old who would enjoy spending time with and sharing stories with the elderly, but Eli loves it. I think the Lord has big things in store for this little guy and I'm so thankful he has a heart for people and a love for bringing cheer!
