A Piece of Lint
Maddy, 8, and I were brainstorming about a story she’s writing. It’s about some canny little monkeys in the Amazon rainforest who outwit some circus poachers. The humans expect to bag a bunch of them and bring them back to the States for big bucks. But the monkeys foil their hunting efforts in an engaging way, and the whole thing is more fun than a barrel of . . . well, it’s a cute story.
In the car, I asked her what the poachers would end up with. After all, they spent a lot of money on plane tickets, hiring local guides, meals, pack mule feed and so forth. What would their boss pay them, for their efforts?
“A piece of lint,” she deadpanned.
Attagirl! She’s a budding environmentalist!

PRAYER REQUEST: A relative’s adored adult daughter named Janet is hospitalized in Arizona with chest pains and dizziness. Oh, Lord, thank You that she got there and is being treated. Speak to her in her affliction if there are things in her lifestyle she should change. Let what ails her be eminently treatable, and let her return home feeling like her not-so-old self again, very soon. (Job 36:15)
