at camp with the youth this week i was completely out of the loop of any news, facebook, cell & well anything except camp & Joslin,at returning home & "society" i felt a slap to the face of reality. sometimes it is so exhausting keeping up with who is offended by whom & who is gossiping about whom. in those moments i think to myself how nice heaven will be because i will not have to exhaust myself trying to be who i should. trying to love like i should, it will just be natural. in that moment of thought the following events transpired.....
im making a sandwich in the kicthen, Joslin Elaina in the den crawling around.
-quiet-
when Joslin Elaina gets quiet she is 90% of the time up to something.
"Joslin what are you up too". The sound of my voice startles her and begins a full on scramble panic, hands hitting the floor desperately trying to grasp the small small crumb left by one of her granimal' snacks. Probably the most hilariously thing I've seen. At 7months in a fight to shove what she thought to be a "no no" in that cute mouth before evil rule enforcing mother could intervene. i can just hear her thoughts "aghhh hurry hurry don't let her see" man, i love her spunk!
-cut to my writing-
she is supposed to be napping but i hear alot of fake laughing in her dark room. someone is having too much fun in her crib.
thats when i remember that little stinker in the den is not my child but God's, gifted to me.
A gift to me.
man, what a precious gift
