Want to laugh?!

Thought I would throw in a light-hearted post!
Faith and I went for eye exams today. Her eyes are fine, just a check-up. She would love to have glasses, but I would love to get rid of mine :-) She had a blast at the eye doctor! You should have seen how much she LOVED the people working there. They gave her a little toy lizard she calls "China," and spinned it round and round on the doctor's stool... she says it was like a merry-go-round. She wanted to sit on the tech's (?) lap instead of mine... She was a nice lady and treated Faith like a jewel! My children were a hit and a hoot at the eye specialists' today! Now, they want to go to the dentist next! HA!
After we arrived at church last evening, Charity told me she had worms in her pocket. Thinking this was just probably some silly thing she was making up again, I dismissed her comment... UNTIL... a teenager we brought to church handed me a small container of little fishing worms! Indeed, Charity had picked up a container of fishing worms Ron had bought when we were out on a family evening, and she brought it in her pocket to church! Yes, they were alive, and Ron then put them into my purse! Thanks, RON! GROSS!
In case I haven't posted this, Hope has a favorite song... The B-I-B-L-E! She love yelling BIBLE! at the end of the song. She loves the congregational singing time at church... she especially enjoys holding her own hymn book.
Faith has been boldly sharing her beliefs these days! The other day, a teenager from our church was wearing some jewelry and Faith asked why, told her that God doesn't want her to do that, and that the devil wants her to do that. We have been trying to teach the children that they need not to wear make-up and jewelry, because God made them beautiful enough without them... it is hard for them not to want to do what they see so many others do. That poor teenager got preached at by a little four year old!
Then, Faith told an adult the other day that she shouldn't say "gosh" (I have been trying to teach my children not to use some of the common slang they hear, and how it is too simular to saying God's name in vain... something Faith has picked up on), but the lady isn't a Christian and I was trying to make friendly conversation with her (since we did have to invade her house because my children needed to use the restroom... we dropped her daughter off, and asked if it were okay to use their facilities). Faith was so blunt, and I just kept talking, but I can say one thing... she is bold! Even if it is on the "little issues."
How about us "big" people on the "big" issues? I hope this hate-crimes bill or law or whatever doesn't keep Christians from preaching and teaching the truth of God's Word... what was an abomination to God in the Bible is still an abomination, and if I go to prison saying so, I shall still be bold! John the Baptist was be-headed for his boldness, and so many others gave their lives for the cause of Christ... why should I turn coward? Perhaps the last days are upon us, but we must continue to be "living in the light of eternity." (Got that from an awesome book I read years ago.)
I used to get this excitement at the thought of being a martyr for Jesus. (Had a friend from Belize once who dreamed we were on the mission field together and I got killed for sharing God's Word or something.) Not for harming anyone or doing anything wrong, but simply for sharing the love and holiness of God with others... those were my younger years... not so anxious to die now... HA! I was a dreamer, and excited about Jesus! Now, I have a family to care for, and don't really want to leave them.
I am sure you all are wondering about my sanity right now, and so am I (it is late, and I ought to be sleeping!)! This was supposed to be a light-hearted post, and here I am preaching again! And, making myself sound wreckless... I'm not... just like to be a little bold now and then, like my little girl. Oh, to have the faith of a little child!
