Another first!

Joshua continues to amaze us. Last night for dinner I cut up some ham pieces for him. While I was working with the girls, he started sneezing. I turned to check on him, and on the next sneeze a piece of ham came flying out of his nose! Unbelievable! I checked to make sure there was nothing else up there (that I could see) and continued with the girls' dinners. For dessert, we enjoyed frozen blueberries. Again, guess what got shoved up his nose? This time, he couldn't sneeze it out so mommy had to retrieve it with tweezers. Fun times.

The girls have never done anything like this. Boys really are different, huh?

You Have Our Attention, Lord

A prayer by Max Lucado - October 2008

Our friends lost their house
The co-worker lost her job
The couple next door lost their retirement
It seems that everyone is losing their footing

This scares us. This bailout with billions.
These rumblings of depression.
These headlines: ominous, thunderous -
“Going Broke!” “Going Down!” “Going Under!” “What's Next?”

What is next?

We’re listening. And we’re admitting: You were right.

You told us this would happen.
You shot straight about loving stuff and worshipping money.
Greed will break your heart, You warned.
Money will love you and leave you.
Don’t put your hope in riches that are so uncertain.

You were right. Money is a fickle lover and we just got dumped.

We were wrong to spend what we didn’t have.
Wrong to neglect prayer and ignore the poor.
Wrong to think we ever earned a dime. We didn’t. You gave it. And now, tell us Father, are You taking it?

We’re listening. And we’re praying.
Could you make something good out of this mess?

Of course You can. You always have.
You led slaves out of slavery,
Built temples out of ruins,
Turned stormy waves into a glassy pond and water into sweet wine.
This disorder awaits your order. So do we.

Through Christ,
Amen

God will always give what is right to His people who cry to Him night and day, and He will not be slow to answer them. (Luke 18:7 NCV)
