The other night Tim and I were babysitting Alexandra (Lexi) and Mackenzie (Kezzie as Lexi says) while their parents enjoyed a couple of hours out. What fun we had. As bedtime approached we began the routine - snack, change into jammies, brush hair,teeth, wash faces, read one book for each girl and pray. It was the first stage of this little ritual that brought back so many wonderful memories of kids and their funny little ways. I often wish I could get inside their heads and find out what they are thinking? Kate instructed me Lexi's snack was to be grapes. So, I gave her grapes. After she was safely seated in her booster seat, I turned to attend to Mackenzie's need of a bottle. When I turned back to Lexi there were no grapes on the table. When I looked closer, instead of eating the grapes Lexi had put them under the table cloth and was smashing them and watching the table cloth turn color.
That's my blog. Nothing deep. No application to our lives except for the application of a smile. And, if you have children and/or grandchildren, a reminder to take the time to enjoy their funny little antics. You won't regret it.
Do you have a funny story about your children/grandchildren?

My favorite instructor in college used to say, "Things don't have to be Christianized to be legitimized."
I think that is a very true statement. Also, one of my favorite preachers frequently says, "Let's not get more spiritual than God."
Little kids aren't adorable because they just are...but because God actually purposed to make them cute and endearing and prone to do very silly things. I think that there is actually much to learn about God by observing how He made children.
This post made me smile, but it also made to ponder the vastness of our God and the amazing fact that God blesses us with incidents like this for our enjoyment.
