I am convinced that God has a pretty awesome sense of humor.
How else could you explain Alpacas?
I'm going to post a picture of two Alpacas below after I get done with this little ditty annnnnd I dare you not to laugh.
And what about Giraffes?
Such strange little - well big - creatures.
I am not going to lie, I giggle a little every time I see one.
(side note: I wonder what they sound like? The sound in my head is pretty funny.)
He often shows his funny bone when trying to get his point across to me.
I can be a little hard-headed at times.
I was reminded of his sense of humor today via song.
God Gave Me You by Blake Shelton, to be exact.
The song itself isn't funny.
But when I heard it today, I was reminded of a fight I had with Chuck this summer.
That is how the song eventually became funny.
I honestly don't remember what the fight was about. I just remember texting him that day if I needed to communicate with him because "I didn't want to hear his voice."
The hubs and I don't really fight much.
We bicker.
Sometimes, we squabble.
But rarely do we have a huge blow up.
I can count on one hand how many blow ups we've had in the 8 years of togetherness ... AND I would have a few fingers to spare!
That day, we had the mother of all blow ups. (Probably over something dumb.)
I needed to clear my head, so I went for a drive.
When I turned on my car, the song was playing ...
"God gave me you for the ups and downs ...."
Bleh - I didn't want to hear that song at all - especially when I was so mad at my significant other.
So, I changed the station ....
"God gave me you for the days of doubt ...."
Are you kidding me?
I really didn't want to hear that song - so I switched to a Top 40s station.
" ... for when I think I lost my way, there are no words left to say it's true .. God gave me you"
I seriously could not get away from the dang song.
I thought to myself: "Surely it won't come on again on the station I started on" .... So, I make the fourth and final switch.
" .... God gave me you ..."
By that point, all I could do was burst into laughter.
"You got me God ...
You made your point!"
I felt an appreciation for my hubby right then.
I called Chuck to make my amends.
Now when I hear the song, I smile.
And laugh.
Sometimes God speaks the loudest when you don't want to listen.
Knock knock ...
who is there?
God.

Oh Ader, I so understand this post!! That is my ringer for my hubby, because no matter what happens and what the bickering/squabbling/blowouts is about, I know that he is my rock. I will always turn to him when I am doubting everything about myself, and he will be there. It's a good feeling.
ReplyDeleteYeah God uses all mediums to communicate with us .... and he did hand pick the hubs for me ... I think he knows what he's doing! Sometimes I forget .... So, that day it was like he was using one of those police sirens an inch from my ear....
