in the words of ben sluder...

as i have been sitting here feeling nothing but numb, i can hear ben upstairs playing. as he is playing, here is what he is singing to himself...

"He's got the whole world in His hands...He's got the whhhooollllleee world in His hands...."

and now he is sitting next to me on the couch with blue lips, blue teeth and a blue tongue smiling at me with the goofiest grin. the blueness is due to the fact that he and i just split a piece of birthday cake that my mom brought me earlier today. and no, it's not anybody's birthday.... it's just that i had told her that yesterday i really wanted a piece of white birthday cake with buttercream icing. sometimes birthday cake just sounds delicious. amen?

anyway, i have never loved such blue messy lips in my life. i might be picky about my son's appearance... but right now, he could be dripping in mud or even sauerkraut (YIKES!!) and i would still be holding him close. this is probably something i need to remember.

i may be sad, but good heavens-- i cannot deny that i am blessed.

  1. Life isn't fair! Think that will be my first question in heaven....why just this for these people and why so much for others? Guess you're right...it teaches us to just be blessed for what we have and who we are in HIM. Love ya girl!
