During breakfast, Will was a bit rambunctious. Ted told the kids to wait patiently and he'd make them a blackberry smoothie. They did. All 3 got a cup of yummy smoothie. Will got rowdy again and the cup flew everywhere. The floor, chair, table and Will himself was a mess. The frustration was in Ted's throat when Natalie said, "Daddy, praise Jesus the glass didn't break!" And with that gentle reminder, the frustration disappeared and Ted replied, "That's right Natalie." Natalie teaches us to see the good in all things, even a spilt glass of blackberry smoothie.
