My sweet
mixed up man. I love him so!
We were
on our knees as we often are…Bill was praying.
I was listening. He was asking
for blessings for our children. He asked
for Shauntell, in her pregnancy …that she would find out from the doctor this
week that she doesn’t have diabetes and that all would be well. He went on…but he lost me at that point
because I was thinking, wait a minute…diabetes?
I never heard anything about that possibility. I knew she was having a Strep test this week
to see if they would have to put her on an antibiotic before she delivers. But diabetes?
So, when
he ended the prayer, I said, “Amen” and then “What’s this about Shauntell and
diabetes? I haven’t heard anything about
that. When did this dire happening
happen?”
Billy replied,
“Oh, you know, she’s having that test to see if she has…diabetes.”
“When did
you get this news? I know she’s having a
Strep test.”
“Yeah,
that’s it, Strep. You know, Strep –
diabetes…aren’t they the same thing? “
“What?” (Well, dear, actually not. No, darling, not even close. They are VERY different. Diabetes is serious, Strep is more or less
routine. And now I’m thinking, yep, we’ve been on our knees too long…the blood has
stopped flowing to his brain.)
“Oh,
well, I thought they were the same thing.
They kind of sound alike….or maybe at least they’re sort of spelled the
same…?”
(Uh, am I
missing something here? Now I’m laughing
hysterically.)
“Well,
Heavenly Father knew what I meant.” (and
thank goodness for that!)
….Never a dull moment.
The miracle here is: She still loves me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
