COOKIE CRUMBS: Corn on the Bone

We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Corn on the Bone

We had dinner at Shiloh's parents to day and Lizzy being the grazer and lover of treats that she is ate about two bites of her dinner and then decided she is was done. She left for a little while then came back to the table about the time everything was being cleaned up and the dishes were being done. Lizzy's plate was still on the table and this was the conversation we had
Lizzy: Mom, I'm hungry can I have a treat?
Ina: Lizzy, you are hungry because you didn't eat you dinner you need to eat your dinner before you can have a treat.
Lizzy: Okay, Is it okay if I just eat my corn?
(we were having corn on the cob)
Mom: Yes, but you have to eat your corn all the way gone before you can have a treat.
Lizzy: Mom I don't have to eat the bone? Do I?
Mom: laughing, no Lizzy you don't have to eat the bone.
