Trust me, I do think it is odd that I have mentioned the flu in most of my recent blogs. I know I should feel shame that out of all the things to fear in life I keep landing on the stomach flu...but seriously, that stuff is scary. It is getting closer. Dan woke up with it this morning. Poor guy. I immediately pulled out my rubber gloves and heavy duty cleanser/sanitizer. Jaden woke up early because of all the noise. I explained to him what was going on, but I may have been a bit on the dramatic side because he now refuses to come upstairs. Nothing like passing along your fears to the next generation.
Speaking of the next generation, I noticed something the other day. It was a small gesture, but it struck me. Parker hung her small Hello Kitty purse on the back of the chair on top of my purse. In fact, she has been repeatedly hanging her purse there for days. Granted, she may think that is the only place purses go because that is where mine always finds a home, but knowing Parker and her distaste of putting things away properly, I doubt it. She is mimicking me. The reality of children mimicking their parents has been obvious to me since Jaden was little...but there was something about seeing the tiny little purse hanging on top of mine that stirred something in me. I have a tiny woman in my home. We live in a world that is out to destroy women and their worth. I can only hope that as she grows and continues to mimick what she sees...that she sees a women who trusts God with her identity. Therein lies her only hope.
