...write about L O V E.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!

~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ~

There are a lot of things in this world that I love. I love my family, my friends, food, books, movies, music, animals, blogging, clothes... I could go on and on. These things give me a lot of joy, especially the people. But I've learned it's not the worldly things that matter. God is the one who we should love the most and I try my hardest. But we're not perfect and we all fall short at times. But because God loves us so much, He sent His one and only Son to come down and die for us to wash away our sins.

And that's what love is.

P.S. Zachary, if you are reading this, I love you too. :)

Theme: secrets. Here we meet a friend of Anna's...

April 16, 1899

Dear Diary,

I have a secret. And it's a horrible one.

I know what you're thinking: what a great way to start this whole thing off. But my mother told me diaries are places where people keep secrets, so I guess I can tell you. After all, no one is going to read this. At least, I hope so. But I don't have any siblings, so my secret's safe. For now, that is. Mother could have her baby any day and I have no idea if I'm excited or worried. Her last baby died an hour after birth and this time there is no one to help or comfort her. Now, we're all alone.

No, that is not my secret. Though it could pass for one. But my secret is far worse than our predicament. It involves my friend Anna (though after she knows what I did, we probably won't be friends anymore) and her family-

Oh, dear. Mother is calling me, and I need to make supper now as the day is growing dark. You'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Yours truly,

Bridget Larson

Part Two of Anna's Story

April 15, 1899

Dear Diary,

Well, after a day of getting my thoughts in order, I've come to the conclusion that I will tell you my story. After all, isn't this what a diary is for?

Where was I? Oh, right I was telling you about my wonderful life before the Great Fire...

It was a beautiful spring day, just like this one, when Father came home. He had been gone for several weeks overseas on business. It had been his annual trip to help those less fortunate than us with his company.

I was sitting up in my favorite tree, listening to the birds sing and jotting down scribbles into my old journal, when little Henrietta poked my foot with a stick.

"Father's home, Anna! Father's home!" she squealed, her golden curls bouncing up and down.

We immediately raced onto the front deck where Father was embracing our three older brothers: Clark, Obadiah, and James.

"Welcome home, Frederick!" Mother exclaimed, rushing down the steps to meet him.

We were so happy then, with our family all together. If only it hadn't been our last.

Sincerely,

Anna Marie Henderson

Foolish Fun

It's April Fool's Day! :) Which means todays post is all about the tricks you can play on your friends and family. (Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was gone all day. I did post an Easter post on Six Faraway Friends though.)

1. Pull a fast one on your brother or sister! If any drawers in your sibling's dresser or desk are the same size, pull them out and put them back in different spots.

2. Tiptoe into your sibling's bedroom and head for his or her sock drawer. Take apart all the pairs of socks, roll them up as unmatched pairs, and put the socks back in the drawer.

3. This trick is good, clean fun. Sneak into the shower and unscrew the cap of a flip-top shampoo bottle. Cover the top of the bottle with a small piece of plastic wrap, and then screw the top back on. When someone flips the lid to get a squirt of shampoo, nothing will come out!

4. Try this paper caper: Unwrap four or five feet of a roll of toilet tissue. Starting at least two feet from the end, use a marker or ball-point pen to write funny messages on some of the sheets. Try, "Help! I'm trapped in a toilet paper factory!" or "Don't forget to flush!" Neatly roll up the TP.

5. When outside with friends or family, point up to the sky and say, "Wow! Look at that!" See how many people you can fool into looking at absolutely nothing.

6. Draw a smudge on your face with a washable marker or eyebrow pencil. Then wait for your friends to say, "Uh, you have something on your cheek." When they do, smile and say, "Yeah, right. I'm not falling for that old trick. Today's April Fool's Day!" The more your friends insist, the more you should deny it. See how long it takes them to figure out you're in on the joke!

7. Make your money funny! Tell a friend to stand with her heels flat against a wall, then put a dollar bill on the floor about one foot in front of her. Tell her that if she can lean over and pick up the bill without bending her knees or moving her feet, he can have it. Don't worry - your cash is safe. Your friend won't be able to do it without falling over!

8. Blow up a balloon and hold the end closed, but don't tie it. Open an often-used door in your house and wedge the pinched end of the balloon into the latch, with the balloon hanging inside the shut door. The next person to open the door will get wind of your silly surprise.

Do you think you'll try any of these? Comment the result!

Have a great day! :)
