Blessed are the Flexible

"Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape."


I love this quote. I first heard it from a mom of six small children (she was also the wife of our bishop). In a literal sense Remy happens to be double jointed in about every joint he has. Most kids can't scratch the top of their head with their toes. In so many situations where I need to stretch and grow I've found exercising some flexibility helps me get through.

I love it! I'll have to remember that one - it ought to have been included in the original beatitudes.

If Deak's tiny legs were long enough...he too would be able to comb his hair with his toes. Right now, they just go as far as his mouth, which he frequently uses to his advantage:)
I love the analogy; I sure have learned some about flexibility from Deak.
