What’s faster than a speeding bullet? Able to leap on the kitchen counter in a single bound? Wrecks more havoc than a tornado? It’s Elisha, the human wonder!
Who’s bound to be an electrician or electronics technician? His favorite playthings are anyone’s cell phone, my pda, and computers. If he can’t get to one of those you’ll find him “recharging his energy”. Where does he get his energy? You’ll find him licking electric sockets or putting batteries or electric cords in his mouth. This diet is supplemented with any spilled drink or chocolate on the floor, he can find to lick up.
Who’s little face is always turned up for a shower of kisses? And arms open for a load of hugs? Who giggles and giggles at “peak a boo” with his hands over his eyes, or tickles after a diaper change? It’s Elisha, the human wonder!
What does this have to do with my title question? If you haven’t noticed Elisha consumes both my body and brain. Elisha is 17 months now. And can exhaust one faster than hauling bricks. It’s hard to write when concentration is a currently non-available commodity. The brain is always divided between the work at hand, and “Where is Elisha? What’s he getting into?” The body is always ready to jump and run to save the day – well at least the laptop from hitting the floor, or supper, or – I forgot to mention, he likes to empty trash cans too – on to the floor!
Like is consumed with discipling Elisha. The other cihldren don’t know an uninterrupted lesson, or even sentence sometimes.
So, life is full – but not with writing right now. Life is full of LIFE! Doing what God created me for, to disiple – first of all the little ones He has put in our home. I don’t have a brain to Blog with, except when Eli’s sleeping – and usually then, I’m just too exhasuted.
The rest of you will live without my input into your lives, Elisha will not. So, my blogs and my email list are VERY slow right now, but that’s OK. I’m chasing a tornado and being lavished with his love.
