The captcha is of the post that I wrote about the Quaker Start with Substance Program.

Wake Up! Mommy

I took Monkey to Bible study with me yesterday instead of leaving him in the childcare area because he was having an ‘off’ day. I’ve been attending this bible study since I was 6 months pregnant with him so the ladies there are like family.

It was a food and fellowship day which meant lots of delicious food and wonderful conversation, a real chance to nourish both my body and my soul.

While we had our heads bowed in prayer over the food I felt two little chubby hands gently clasp my cheeks and I felt his warm little breath coming close to my face and then as he tried to lift my head he said:

“Wake Up! Mommy!”

I love that kid. He sent the whole room into gales of laughter as I tried to explain I wasn’t sleeping, but praying.

He wasn’t having it. Every time I closed my eyes or bowed my head:
“Wake Up! Mommy!”
