Today's journal writing question is pretty simple! When did you get your first Bible and do you still have it?
For those of you new to serving the Lord this should be fresh in your memory!!
Before I was saved we received a Living Bible from friends of my parents, as a wedding gift, it had a wonderful note inside to us and just a few years ago I was able to tell them how much that meant to me, now that I was serving the Lord, that was my first Bible. However, I still remember the little KJV Bible I had right after I gave my heart to the Lord, 27 years ago, I read it until it literally fell apart! I don't think I still have it anymore and it had very few "helps" in it, but I made a few notes in it and transferred those to my new Bible, which was a NIV Thompson chain reference Bible which I used until it was falling apart! It had the best references in it and I truly miss that part of it.(I still have it) Now I have a NKJV Women's Study Bible that my dh Kerry, bought me on Valentines Day 1996 and I would have to say if I had to teach without it, I would be lost!! We are that close! (lol) I have a couple of other Bibles but my Women's Study Bible is my main one.
Jakob the "bear hunter"
Now I'm changing subjects and going from "spiritual" to "hilarious" (at least to me... my daughter wasn't to happy about this though).
Evidently the other afternoon, Jakob (2yr old) decided to empty his diaper into his bed during naptime. (I am so glad I didn't have to deal with this....I must confess I have a weak stomach, Nurse Nan I am not.)
Back to the story...
Daddy Ray wakes Mommy Kelly from her nap and says, "Jakob wants you" Hmmm....did Daddy open the door and get one whiff and close the door, I'm wondering? So, without getting too descriptive, there were all sorts of shapes and sizes of "said content of diaper" from one end to the other in our sweet little grandson's crib. Of course Mommy is telling Jake that this is not a good thing to do, it is yucky. Which Jake replies, "Hippo eat poo-poo, yucky!" Which Mommy so eloquently but loudly says "WHAT did you say??!!??" And Jakob repeats his statement very clearly.
Now Hippo is Jakob's flashlight, that has a large mouth that shines forth light and Mommy Kelly in great horror finds "said diaper content" in Hippo's large and now less than shiny mouth. How it got there of course is quite disconcerting but we know that hippos will be hippos.
Moral of this story: It is time to get potty trained before Grammie starts babysitting on a regular basis in September!

I call to You, God, and You save me. Even if I cry out in distress evening, morning and noon, You will never fail to hear my voice. Psalm 55:16-17
Now that is a funny story. I am laughing out loud. I had to explain myself and subsequently read the story to Ross. He got a kick out of it too. Poor Kelly. Tell her I feel for her. From a distance. A very long distance. (At least until he's potty trained.)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS NATALIE!!!!! I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING...I HAVE TO FORWARD THIS ON TO BRANDY AND JULENE...THEY WILL GET A KICK OUT OF IT TOO!! OH MY...STILL LAUGHING!!
ReplyDeleteSSooo funny!!! Thankfully I have never gone through that with my kids but my cousin did with her son. She took pictures and sent them to everyone. When we looked at it our first thought was, "why is she sending us a picture of Christen in his crib with choc. cake all over him and it?" Then we read the explanation - Yuck!!!!
ReplyDeleteYuck is right!!
