April 4, 2013, at 10:19 pm | Yup, Tommy the cat is still around. We don’t see him much these days, as the next-door neighbors have unofficially adopted him (more specifically, Tommy adopted them). But we still see enough of him. The other day, the kids were out playing in the yard and Tommy strolled over. Jimmy LOVES the cat, and he enthusiastically rambled up to the feline to pet/hug/squish him. Tommy wasn’t keen on the idea, so he gave Jimmy a bite. Now, Jimmy walks around pointing to his wrist saying, “Boo boo. Cat. Boo boo” in a sorrowful voice. I don’t think he’s sorry the cat bit him; he’s just sorry he’s now banned from thinking about touching the furry creature.
All that to say, some pets are best kept at arm’s length. Or behind glass!

The Lord is risen indeed!
Then justice asks no more;
Mercy and truth are now agreed,
Which stood opposed before.
The Lord is risen indeed!
Then all His words performed;
The captive Surety now is freed,
And death, our foe, disarmed.
The Lord is risen indeed!
He lives to die no more;
He lives, His people’s cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame He bore.
The Lord is risen indeed!
And hell has lost its prey;
And with Him all the ransomed seed
Shall reign in endless day.
Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Well, I don’t think her brother stuck below would agree!

You don’t really understand human nature
unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round
will wave at his parents every time around-
and why his parents will always wave back.

Child 1: “Mom, we were doing NOTHING.”
Child 2: “Yup, NOTHING.”
Yikes!
Here are the girls plotting. I still don’t know what they were doing!
(Yes, that’s a bandage on Susie’s forehead. Some all-in-good-fun sisterly roughhousing got out of control!).

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy! Feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected]. |
