Shooting themselves in the foot one civil disobedience at a time.

Grandson Week

Some of my memories of my grandson are from when he was a baby or toddler. His imagination and spirit never ceased to amaze me- at times humor me AND wear me out.

So I’ve been watching my grandson while his mother is enjoying a luxurious trip to Colorado., and so I’ve been very busy playing in dirt, watching cartoons and becoming a steed for his knight-ship.

Last night, while giving him a bath, I decided to clean the bathroom. When I turned around he had taken all my soaps and dumped them into the water and then rubbed them all over his body. When I tried to get him out he went into one and resisted. It was like attempting to get a greased alligator out of a pond…..I want to renegotiate my contract.

Grandson Week

I’ve been taking a stroll down memory lane, and reading posts on my FB about my grandson. So the rest of the week I thought I’d share some of them with you…

A conversation with my grandson…

GS: Sometimes when I’m playing my game, the bad guys annoy me.

Me: Just say “Barnacles”

GS: Can I say what grandpa says?

Long pause…

Me: What does grandpa say?

GS: Dadgum it

Me: *sigh of relief*

Grandson Week

After yesterday’s post, I’ve been taking a stroll down memory lane, and reading posts on my FB about my grandson. So the rest of the week I thought I’d share some of them with you…

While attempting to fix dinner with a whirlwind of activity around me, the following exchange took place between me and my grandson.

Grandson: Grandma, I want my mashed potatoes and rolls. (repeated 100x)

Me: I’m fixing it as fast as I can- I tell you what, you go in there and as soon as it’s done I’ll call your name and you can come eat, okay?

So he went and sat on the stairs so that he could watch me like an eagle eyeballing it’s prey. About five minutes later one of the timers went off, and as I was attending to that I heard him say- “Grandma, you’re not saying my name!”

Prayer

Here is a new prayer group on FB. Let’s help them get started!
Hope in Prayer

Just Because…

Just because I’m having trouble getting the day started, and because coffee is slowly, but surely waking me up, AND because this is funny…heh

Blast From the Past

I can’t remember if I actually posted this here or not, but in 2015 we took a trip to Gatlinburg, stayed in a cabin, etc etc. Our grandson went with us. It was a great trip, and then this happened. LOL

While on vacation, we went to a deer farm/petting zoo. It was hands down one of our favorite experiences while there. One memorable moment had our grandson feeding the, how shall I say this, one toothed “hillbilly camel” in residence. Now I’m sure on the brochure they featured a majestic looking camel with all of his teeth. But Cecil, as I call him, was all we got. SO, my husband fed Cecil without incident and then it was my grandson’s turn. He just happened to be wearing his treasured dress coat. A coat he had begged me for on many occasions until I finally broke down and got it. THAT’S the coat he was wearing. So he cupped his hands together as grandpa poured food into his hands. What happened next was more of an assault than a feeding. The camel’s mouth came down, there was a large slurping noise and all that was left was a trail of saliva on his hands and coat. At first my grandson didn’t say anything, He looked down at his hands and his desecrated dress coat in disbelief. Then as we burst into laughter he began running around, waving his arms and screaming. He suddenly stopped, then looked at us and said “SERIOUSLY?” LOLOL I fortunately snapped some pictures before and after.

It’s Monday

WORD

1Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

      3For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

      9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

      14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 20“BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Thought for the day: If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.
