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…..

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

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...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
