Mysteries and misunderstandings

Mysteries and mysterious misunderstandings. I do not like them much. At all. Except when they are solved. And they aren’t always.

In a household of 9 we’ve had 36 pairs of relationship in these walls. That’s a lot of interaction and a lot of scope for mysteries and misunderstandings.

For a while we had 10 living here. That makes 45 pairs of relationships. Now we are 7 at home but 2 family partners and 2 grand babies makes the current count of 13 family – 78 pairs of relationships!!!

Add in friends, school, teachers, extended family, etc etc and the extended scope for mysteries multiplies beyond measure!

Yesterday we had 3 mysterious misunderstandings (that I know of). This morning, two and a half of them are solved.

Not too bad in the grand scheme of things!

BE/AE division

Five years ago a tiny boy was born. Though I’m his Granma not his Mum, his life to mine has been like the BC/AD division of history. There was life Before Elijah and now After Elijah. All my previous beliefs, attitudes and assumptions (bar 3 Rock Solid Knowings) were thrown up in the air, each examined and measured under Light, one at a time. Some ditched completely. Many placed carefully and permanently back where they belonged. And still others added over time building on what is sure.

I remember him every day and I’m grateful.

I remember his parents every day and I still sorrow.

And every day I remember the God who loves him more and longs to provide the reunion.

You’ve heard of first world problems

This a 5 year olds problem. Or the type that an uncluttered life SHOULD have…

“Mum, there’s nowhere at our house where I can hang upside down and be a bat. There’s just nowhere! The branch on the climbing tree is just too fat and the other one is too high and there’s just NOwhere and I have to do it on a chair and it’s just anNOYing!!!”

Multiple choice

Choose the correct answer. Then choose the one most likely for you to do.

And when they heard that The Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they

a) bowed down and worshipped… (Exodus 4:31) … or

b) sat down and spat it big time saying “if you were real you’d never let anything bad happen and I’d be happy all the time therefore you’re not real” – never realising the madness of actually addressing such a figment of imagination. (Extrapolations 1:1)

Important Note:  Extrapolations is not an actual book of the Bible.  🙂
