Lip Service


We'd spent the entire day at Valley Fair and the kids were dropping like flies. They'd ridden everything possible as many times as possible and it was time to get them to bed. When we arrived at the motel, my late husband discovered that he'd forgotten his denture cup and ended up putting his teeth in a glass of water. Our sleepy little grandson went into the bathroom and came flying out, wide awake and scared silly, exclaiming, "Somebody's teeth are in there!" After I explained that Grandpa has dentures and can remove them at night, he calmed down a bit. Then, with eyes as big as saucers, he asked, "And his LIPS too?" Now that little boy is confronting something much more frightening. He's a soldier in Iraq. Pray for our troops.
