This morning directly after breakfast Jerome asked to be excused to get dressed and run laps around the house! I didn’t think sandals were the best running gear, but they proved worthy. After lap ten there was a pause for a discussion about what exactly was happening. You’re not racing, and not earning money. Endurance running lap after lap. How many do you want to do? Ten more would be twenty! Go for it!

On the last lap he comes running around the corner carrying a rose for me, and his eyes were shining!

A few minutes later Seth comes in, firmly grabs my hand and says “Come! He has to bless you!” and walks me all the way outside and around the corner of the house to where Jerome is waiting to smell all the roses with me. I am blessed!
