Last Thursday Wes came in the house, holding his head. His head and hand were covered in blood. When I finally got the children calmed down, I learned that the rope swing snapped when Wes was on it and he'd fallen and hit his head on a stump.
Well, Tom had been telling the children that the swing needed to be checked for safety. So, a trip to the Dr. and 4 shots and 4 staples in the head later, everyone had decided that Dad was pretty smart.
You know, our Heavenly Father tells us many things that we need to check in our lives. But, like the children, sometimes I'm having to much fun nursing my personal sin of greed, envy, anger, etc. to check in with the truth of it and it's effects on everyone around me. Until somehow, something snaps and people get hurt.
Wes' head injury makes me grateful that my heavenly Father takes care of us, even when we are unwilling to do as he asks. If we get just a glimpse of how much he loves us, we'd run to him and do whatever he asks. For in his will, is safety, peace, and joy. And, freedom from painful scars that occur when we have to be put back together.

Oh, gosh, I hope he is okay!
And saw those 10 minute solution workouts in your sidebar - I'm off to Jjapan tomorrow for work and plan to take a couple of 10 Minute Solution workouts with me...
So sorry I haven't seen this before~I've barely hit my blog this fall with so much going on. Yes, he's fine! And, aren't those 10 Minute solution workouts great for travel?
BTW, how was Japan?
