Lost and Found

Missing: one soft white lamb with beans in it.


I took the boys to Barnes and Noble tonight. Caleb set his little lamb down on the train table in the children's book section and forgot to take it with him when we left the store.

When we got home, it was bedtime and he realized that his lamb was missing. He was devastated! Phil, being the wonderful father that he is, left right away to search for Caleb's dear friend, Teddy the Lamb. Jared prayed right then that Daddy would find Caleb's lamb, and that the store would not be closed when Daddy got there.

Caleb waited up with me. He wanted to make a Lost Lamb sign, so this was the picture he chose. He told me, while crying, that he would be a better shepherd next time.

Phil finally arrived home with Teddy the Lamb, and we had one happy boy on our hands!

Mama, Teddy needs a leash for when he goes traveling with his shepherd.

Caleb, How wonderful it is to hear that your buddy "Little Lamb" was found and now is back home with you!!!!! I bet you were very happy when you went to bed with your buddy, snuggled very close to you last night.

Sounds like a living object lesson.
