Spit fight

I have been enjoying having "fights" with Mason. We have tickle fights, kissy fights, snowball fights (stuffing from a pillow) and ball fights. He gets to laughing hysterically and will fight for 5-10 minutes at a time. Today we were having a kissy fight. I'm kissing away on his cheeks and every once in a while he gets a kiss in and yells "I win!" Today in the middle of the kissing fight he suddenly yells "SPIT FIGHT!" and I knew I was in trouble. I was holding him, so I couldn't use my hands to save me. Plus I was laughing as hard as I possibly could. It was hopeless - he definitely won that fight! I finally just said "Throwing Mason fight" and tossed him on the couch. Then he wanted me to throw him about 10 more times. It's during these times that I can't help but think about Jesus' mother Mary when she said that she was storing everything up in her heart. I am so blessed with a great husband and three wonderful kids. I am storing these things in my heart! It seems we are always living for the future. As kids it's "When I'm 10 I'll be able to..." "When I'm 16 I'll be able to drive" ""When I'm in college..." "When I get my dream job, I'll make enough money.." "When I get married, I'll be happier..." "When we have kids, I'll be content.." "When the kids are grown, we'll be able to sleep again!" Pretty soon life has slipped away. I Tim 1:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain." Hebrews 13:5 "Keep yourselves free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" We should be like Paul - content in all circumstances! Today I'm content with Spit Fights!
