Laughter Lives Tuesday

Laughter Lives

This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!"

Ok a picture is really worth a thousand words, but my beloved stated he did not think that it would be “appropriate” to place it on here so I will try to explain this story to the best of my abilities.

There seems to be a common phrase in our home, “ you never know what to expect” that is lived out, especially in a house full of boys. I have 4 young men, and one little(2 year old) man, so trust me when I say that I truly do not understand the male species at all.

My second to the youngest is 12 years old and truly does have a fun loving heart. We also have a two year old- who is not potty trained, so that means diapers and pull-ups. My 12 year old, spotted a pull up sitting on the chair in the living room. Each of us where so engrossed in our individual tasks. I was grading, and his siblings doing some school, so he snuck off to his room with a pull up. He (12 year old)stripped his clothing,pulled on the pull-up and came barreling through the living room laughing all the way to model that he actually fit in the pull up(barely). Of course- that made everyone roar with laughter, except mother( who by the way tried very hard not to smile and laugh) who looked at him very disapprovingly.(what are mothers for-to ruin the fun)

After a few minutes of laughter I demanded that he put his clothes back on. A few more minutes past and that wonderful mocking two year old decides to come running out (fully clothed) with the same pull-up his big brother had on, loosely wrapped around himself, laughing and running around the living room in the same manner of his older brother, which brought even more laughter.

 

So you see- You never know what to expect in the Sellers Home…..

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
