Timmy was a little five year old boy whose Mom loved him very much.

Being a worrier, she was concerned about his walking to school when he

started kindergarten. She walked with him the first few days, but he

came home one day telling her he did not want her walking him to school

every

day.

He wanted to be like " big boys " . He protested so loudly that she had

tofind another way to handle it.

She asked her neighbor if she would surreptitiously follow her son

to school at a distance, but close enough to keep a watch on him.

said that, since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it

would be a good way for them to get some exercise so she agreed.

The next school day, and her little girl set out behind Timmy as

he walked to school with his friend Ronnie. This went on for a whole

week.

Timmy's friend noticed that this same lady was following them every day.

Finally Ronnie asked Timmy, " Have you noticed that lady following us all

week? Do you know her? " Timmy nonchalantly replied, " Yea, I know who she

is. " Ronnie asked, " Well, who is she? " " That's just Shirley Goodnest

an' her little girl Marcy, " Timmy said.

Ronnie inquired further, " Well, why does she follow us every day like

that? "

" Well, " Timmy explained, " every night Momma makes me say the 23rd Psalm

with my prayers cuz she worries about me so much. And in it, the prayer

says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my

life.' So, I guess I'll just have to get used to it. "
