First, you should realize I have had children run to me with all manner of exciting nature finds, including snakes, big insects, and spiders. Brandon asked for a green snake, and I, thinking he'd never find one, said yes. Not too many weeks later, he ran inside with an arm and a slithery thing outstretched. I climbed the couch backward. Caleb has no fear of snakes.
There are many more stories, but know when a youngun' rushes towards me with something in their hands, I've learned to GIVE GROUND and ask questions later. So, when Emily came running in with a big bundle in her shirt, hoping for a reaction, she got one. I was bolting to the other side of the room before she could say 'TURKEYS!!"
She fell to the floor on her knees, laughing at me.
Mind you, I play back. I might get C-Dawg to help me with this one. It's joyful and fun in this home. I am very thankful for #6 and #7, who came later in my reproductive years and are such a tremendous blessing.
The Lord is faithful and leads us to good places...if we are willing to follow.
