God's Little Whispers...



Samuel set the table AND THEN... put napkins under the silverwear!



After my last blog post (which I please ask that you read, if you haven’t already…)

Two reminders that God “whispered” to me, occurred (and I have pictures of both!)  J

FIRST:  I forgot to take the pictures off of my camera…  Joe’s mom and Grandma made the trip over from Bend/LaPine, OR yesterday (a 3.5 hour trip!) to watch Luke, just so I could go to a hair appointment.  How nice is that?  I was so thankful that I really can't even say thank-you BIG enough.

SECOND:  At dinner tonight, I was having Samuel help me by putting plates, silverware and salt/pepper on the table (while I was grilliing.)  He was SO HAPPY to help me, which makes my heart smile.  And then I remembered we needed napkins.  So I gave him 3 napkins for “mommy, daddy and Sam.”  A few moments later (when I looked at the dinner table), I almost started to cry.  Samuel had put the napkins UNDER our silverwear!  He knew where to put napkins as a 3-year-old!  We didn’t teach him this – it’s just his perception.  He watches our every move and wants to “get it right.” 

I LOVE THIS KID…  right now he and Joe and playing “trains” downstairs and I am feeling completely blessed. 

And… Luke is asleep.  It is finally peaceful, with only the quiet lull of the dishwasher in the background…
