Here are a couple of wonderings from our house this week...
"Is a hillbilly like a hobo?".
This Sunday, as we were leaving our home, I was noticing the large amount of playthings in our yard (not unusual). This is bad enough, but to top it all off, we seemed to have accumulated a random empty milk jug. I proclaimed (perhaps politically incorrect) that we must really be "hillbillies". Carson quipped from the back "Is a hillbilly like a hobo?". This is funny to our family because we have been on a "hobo" kick lately since Troy was seen eating mandarin oranges out of a can. Yeah, the usually proper Troy was caught eating out of a can. We have determined that hobos are not like hillbillies.
"What is God going to do, Mama?"
Ephraim has had trouble the last few weeks sitting to hear the Bible Story at BSF. He was "tired of hearing about the grumbling Israelites". (Imagine how God felt). This past week, while we were still hearing about the complaining Israelites, Ephraim's class did hear about the snakes and the bronze serpent that God used to bring salvation to His people. Now this was exciting to Ephraim. Worth listening to for sure.
To peak Ephraim's curiosity and encourage enthusiasm for hearing this week's story I told him, he wasn't going to believe what was going to happen in our story tomorrow. He said, "Tell me Mama". I said, "You'll have to wait until tomorrow". He said in his sweetest voice "What is God going to do, Mama?".
That is a question worth wondering about. What is God going to do? Don't tell Ephraim, but tomorrow the kids will hear the story of Balaam and his talking donkey. Yeah, God can use anything and anyone. He was the first one to use a talking donkey, Shrek can't claim that title. Better yet, everything we read in God's WORD is true. Shrek is a "fairy tale". God's WORD can be trusted. We can find the answer to all our questions there. (Well, I don't know about hobos and hillbillies, but the stuff that really matters though).
Got a question, check His Book!
