Wunk's Home for Naughty Children: Wake up with the King

With a quiet smile, my little three year old girl climbed into my bed this morning. She looked like an angel, sweet as can be in her pink polkadot princess jammies. Curious as to what she was smiling about I asked if she had a good sleep. She replied, "Mom, I have been thinking about Jesus.". Her smile curling up even more, "I drew Him a picture!". Giggling I asked, "What were you thinking about Jesus? "He loves me, so I was thinking about making Him pictures.".

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all wake up in the morning, with the quiet and warm assurance of Christ's love? The scriptures have taught us to 'be as a child'. This surely must be what was meant, having the faith of a little one, knowing that the Lord's love surrounds us. We might offer up a prayer...although I am sure he loves the pictures just as well.

Wunk's Home for Naughty Children

WELCOME to the best place on the web to hear about what goes on in the life of a grumpy housewife and mom of six. I am Sarah. I will be your host, while you journey through this small glimpse of what really happens behind the scenes at Wunk's Home for Naughty Children.

A quick rundown of the Home's residents...Kevin and Sarah Married in June of 1994 and founded the Home. The Home is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The founders of the home are well versed in managing children's mental health and pharmacological needs. They are currently engaging in hands on training for the management of asthma, food allergy and anaphylaxis and children's endocrinology. Sarah works full time during the Home's open hours. Kevin brings in additional funding sources by working as a machinist for BNSF Railways when he is not busy at the Home, or working with the local BSA troop. All male residents are strongly urged to be an active member of the Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts of America.

Matthew is the oldest resident, and by far the most difficult. He is 13, and began living at the Home in March 1995. He is active in Boy Scouts, and enjoys playing clarinet.

Annie was received at the home late December 1996. She is now 11 and starting to enter that exciting time of life, called puberty. Redheads and puberty are a volatile combination. I reccomend avoiding it at all costs. She enjoys beading and knitting, and has won local fair competitions with her handwork.

Avram, aka: Bubs, joined the bunch in May, 1999. Avram's interests include toads, snakes, making horrible messes that "some crazy guy" keeps setting him up to take the fall for, and eating peanut butter under the bed.

Kaleb, who is 7, often accompanies Avram in the pursuit of amphibians and reptiles, and eating peanut butter under the bed. He hopes to be a shark trainer one day. He currently is a purveyor of small handmade quilts, stuffed turtles, and penguins.

Ellie is one of our youngest residents, and will be 4 in January. Ellie aspires to be a princess, and actively prances and gallops about as part of her formal training.

Abbie is the last arrival at Wunk's Home for Naughty Children. She will be 2 in December. She is trying to be a big girl and only asks to nurse once or twice a week now.
