John Derek was so excited to be a sniper for Halloween. The one thing he kept telling me over and over again was that he wanted a gun that looked "real" not plastic. This was hard to find. Finally on Oct. 30th I ended up at Wal Mart with him to look at air guns. He had decided that this was so important to him that he would pay for the gun. He was all about the look of the gun and wanted one that was well over $100, because it looked like what a sniper would use.
Then a tender mercy occurred. A gentleman walked down the isle and got involved in our conversation. He knew air guns. He showed JD the one that was just like the one he owned as a boy and still owns. One that he has used to hunt small animals and that was the 2nd cheapest one at the store. All this mans advice and thoughts were processed by JD and he decided on the gun this man suggested.
John Derek was so excited and carried it all over the Halloween party and trick or treating. He can't wait until this weekend when he gets to go to the Hunt Club and try it out for real.
I felt so blessed. I didn't know what I was doing and Derek was at work, but Heavenly Father stepped in and took care of us. He truly loves us.

Meeting the Challenges of Today’s World
"“I didn’t raise my children on money; I raised them on faith.”"
I
need to remember this when I feel that we don't have enough to cloth
our children the way I want to. When we can't put our children in all
the programs we want to. Lateley I keep reminding myself that I am not
raising an athleat or miss popular, I am raising children unto the Lord.
That is where my efforts are, in scripture study, family prayer, and
family home evening. More than anything I want them to be righteous
individuals who know and love and obey their Father in Heaven.
