The Shield of the Lord

Seth has a highly distinctive sense of smell but seems to be only sensitive when it comes to the odors--or perceived odors--of others. Just today, he came to me, laughing so hard he couldn't walk straight because his feet stunk from wearing his leather shoes without socks! I digress even further to preface this story. David has wonderful oral hygiene. He flosses and brushes his teeth at least twice a day. He gets his bi-annual cleanings...you get the picture. So when Seth was getting antsy in church and David asked him to look at his face, David assumed he was being disobedient when Seth turning his face away replied," Please talk into my ear, daddy." David insisted and Seth complied but only after using his New Testament as a shield between his nose and David's mouth.

Thankful Thursday

For any of you who have read my other blog, you know that I have been posting a Thankful Thursday for several weeks. You also know that while I have done posts on my other two kiddos, Seth has not had a post dedicated to him! If you know us well, you already know that I am too busy keeping him out of a zillion things to think about thankfulness . Nah. Just kiddin.' I am thankful for Seth's precious little hugs. Often I'll feel little arms around my legs and him lovin' on me--although he wipes off any kiss I give him with a dramatic flair. I am thankful for his good manners. I hope they last! He is quick to say "please" and "thank-you" without being reminded. Just the thought of Seth's mischievous eyes makes me smile...always. I am so grateful that God gave us our sweet Josiah Seth and that my life was spared to be here with him each day. Thank you, Father, for Seth.
