Fantastic Sibling Moments Post#7: Gubby Mocks High-heel Practice

 I don’t wear high-heels very often, and when I do, I try to spend the evening before an event wearing them so that I won’t make a total fool of myself on the morrow. As I was clomping around upstairs in my high(ish)-heels, the following took place:

Gubby (10): You look funny! (Laughing)

Me: It’s not as easy as it looks!

Gubby:  Yes, it is! I could totally do it!

With that, I laughed and took my shoes off, telling him to see for himself. He was grinning and cocky as he put the too-big shoes on his feet, thinking he would make fun of me. He took a few wobbly steps, and then fell down very clumsily on purpose (it was hilarious). Then he said, “Okay, I’ll do it for real now,” and, with an amused but determined look on his face, started walking. After about two and a half steps, he fell on his face in the same fashion as before. He and I were both laughing hysterically, and Gubby now respects my “practicing” in heels the night before. 

I hope you all have a blessed Easter, celebrating the true Reason for the season! He is risen!

Mark 16:16, “And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.”

Isaiah 53:1-7, “Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ² For He grew up before Him like a tender  shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. ³ He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. ⁴ Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. ⁶ All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.

⁷ He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth."
