Humorous Tribute to Toddler Twins

-

 While this is not a serious spiritual lesson like many of my other posts, I want to thank the Lord for His strength and grace, as and when I rely on Him, to love and care my family even during trying times.

----

To be sung to the tune of "Oh, My Darling Clementine" during moments of twin distress.


Oh, despair and lacrimation,

Despondency and gloom,

What angst and consternation

When their mama...

Leaves the room!


(Or perhaps more often when she's present yet not holding them)

Memories of My Dad

Dad talking to his "daughter girl" before sending her on a four-week trip to Puerto Rico Summer 2001 (me--Age 17) When I think of my Dad, I remember how much he loved to tell people about Jesus. He had been saved in college while studying to be an engineer, and his life radically changed after that. He quit engineering and went to Bible college, working his way through as a nurse's aid in the ICU. He told me once of an emergency situation and a dying patient.

Ashamed and angry, my heart pondered words they meant to care. A newcomer to this land , I wanted to impress Them as capable and fluent. Now my pride in tattered dress. Gracious words soothed my heart, " Christ died for your foolishness too ." We've all been foolish. How many times has God protected you? How often do I unwisely speak or hold bitterness towards a friend? My own true sins, against my God, deserve hell that never ends.

One of my earliest memories is playing below a yellow and pink quilt, drap ed from my mom's lap. She was sitting, thimble on finger, hoop in hand, needle in her grasp, while lovingly hand-stitching some finishing touches on this blanket for my room. stockings that my mom made for my husband and me Mom is creative. She enjoys sewing and crafting of various kinds and likes to make us things. It's one way she shows her love for us. As we show interest, she enjoys passing on what she knows to us. "Laura Ingalls" costume that my mom sewed Mom is resourceful. When our living room suffered a large amount of water damage, she took the sofa cushion covers apart (to make a pattern) and reupholstered the sofa herself. Mom with her two middle daughters Mom is a hard worker. She raised us five children, including a child with special needs, and made sure we got our school work done. Sometimes she took a side job, such as selling furniture (to buy us b...
