Wishes and Mushies

Mid morning I went for a walk with my three year old little ball of energy.  He insisted that he could walk a mile with mommy.  Our walk became a "nature" walk.  We threw some rocks in the pond, found some eggs, some sneezy flowers some pretty wedbowds and bluebowds (that's redbirds and bluebirds in toddler).  We stopped to pick some wishes (dandelions) and see a smooshed copperhead. We found some mushrooms (yes, we had a lesson on their toxicity) and some baby pine corns. I'm not sure which, but one of them earned the title mushies.        Awwww.....how sweet is that?

Well if you've ever been in Texas you know that it is Hot, that's why I put a capital there, because is it Hot with a capital H by about, hmmmm.... when the sun comes up?  Not really, but you can imagine what it felt like by 11:00 a.m with the sun shining right down on us as we strolled along that old blacktop road.  As we started our walk back home, a half a mile away, we'll just say little ball of energy began to drag a bit and wanted mommy to carry him.  Mommy does not do well in heat because she doesn't like to sweat.  Besides, southern belles aren't supposed to sweat, they glow.  Hmmmm.......what to do, what to do????  We all know that when we're in need of anything, we just call daddy and he'll come a runnin'. So  looking up at me with his big, brown eyes, ball of energy says, "Mommy, ish you caw daddy, he, he, he will heeew (hear) us and he will come and hep us."   Another awwwwww.......moment.   "Yes," I thought, "but daddy's a half  a mile away. We're in for a long, hot walk home."   Just to make him feel better, in a normal voice, I called for daddy to come and help us.  "Daddy, we're hot.  Can you come and get us?"  We waited, no daddy.  We kept on walking and moved to the side of the road because a car was coming around the corner.  As the car came closer, I could see it was a truck, an old white truck.  No surely not.  Could it be?  We have an old white.........Yes! Yes! Yes! Help had arrived.  Coming around the corner was our old white truck.  Daddy had sent help after all.  Big brother was coming to our rescue.  You should have seen the look on little ball of energy's face when he saw that truck coming around the corner.  Well, actually, I was the one who was surprised, he really wasn't that surprised.  He knew if we just called on Daddy, he could come to help us, no matter how far we were.  Have you called on your Heavenly Father today? He is the best help in your time of need.
