Raise your hand if your Perfect.... PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN!!!!

I think God has a sense of humor... I think He is all knowing, wise and wonderful, sitting up in heaven with a wicked dry sense of humor.... He likes to remind in little ways everyday how close to perfection I am not, and some days I am oblivious to his efforts to humble me, but then some days it hits me hard, like a ton of bricks.....

I have a beautiful middle child named Miss. S... I have told you about her before.... she is all girl, loves makeup and shoes, but then loves to ride her bike and wrestle her brother.... Having been the baby for 6 1/2 years before Baby O arrived really set the bar high in her eyes... she has a hard time seeing that the sun does not rise and set for her... I love to death, she is my baby, would not trade her for the world, but sometimes she drives me nuts.....

This is where the whole "God is playing a fast one on me" comes into play.... I WAS JUST LIKE HER.... I used to whine shamelessly until I got my way... I would egg things on with people... I did not understand why the world did not come to a screeching halt if something went wrong in my world..... and I see these things in her and they drive me CRAZY!!!! So you see, God is probably having a great big ol' belly laugh right now, because I want to pull my hair out sometimes and he is reminding me that I am not perfect, that I need to have more patience, and showing me that He loves me unconditionally, just like I love my children......
