Pouring. Storming. God was changing many light bulbs tonight!
What did this mean? Tatum and Coti were scared. Actually, Coti was scared and Tatum needed an excuse to come out and hang with Mama and me. So….the storm pounding on her window was the perfect opportunity. Also, we were watching the Next Food Network Star (my favorite show), so I think she wanted to check it out with us.
I had just bought Tatum a “My Pillow” so she decided to bring it out to the chair.
Coti shared it with her.
Then, it happened.
Coti took over.
And Tatum? She snuggled next to me on the couch and we watched who would beat Bobby Flay. She got to watch them duke it out over shrimp and grits, filet and duck with red eye sauce. Go figure.
And me? I got the opportunity to soak in more Tatum Tot. And today, especially, I needed it.
Our verse today: “Let no [unkind] word come from your mouth but only words used to build up.” (Eph 4:29 Tatum version). It was a day to remember this as we will practice using ONLY words to edify not to “rip” down (as Tot would put it).
Good night Stormy Sunday and a full day.
