Talking to Jesus

Okay, okay...I know it's been forever since I've posted anything hear. I have no excuses. Life is just crazy!! Joshua is sick AGAIN...it appears that the wonderful tonsilectomy isn't performing miracles for him. Poor guy is hacking so hard I think his lungs are going to launch out of his mouth at any moment. At any rate, I wanted to share a funny with everyone out there.

I print the bulletins for our church. I'm a bit of a slacker about it, so I usually don't get around to printing them until Sunday morning. Let me preface by saying that Joshua is fascinated with the printer. Every morning he goes by and hits the power button to cut it on. He's been told many times to keep his beautiful and pudgy little fingers off of it, but still he pushes the buttons. Anyway, this past Sunday I had the bulletins all ready to print, but the printer wasn't working. Each time I tried to print the only thing that came out was blank pages. Frustrated, I turned to Joshua and said in my best 'mommy's not playing' voice, "Joshua, mommy's printer isn't working. You need to go to your and talk to Jesus and ask Him to fix mommy's printer. If mommy's printer doesn't get fixed, then you're getting a spanking!" He looked at me with those great big eyes and said, in his 'I got the message mommy' voice, "O-tay mommy!" He turned and walked out of the room. Now I assumed that he had ignored every word I had said. I assumed that he had run off to the play room to have a jolly good time. Boy was I wrong!!!

A few minutes later Joshua came running in our bedroom with such gusto that it seemed he had to be on an extremely important mission. He had his black toy cell phone open and clutched in his little hand. He shoved the phone at me and said, "Mommy. Mommy. It's Jesus. He talk to you. Here!" It was all I could do not to roll on the floor laughing to the point of tears as I sat and talked to Jesus. What more, when Joshua closed his cell phone it was silent for a couple of seconds and then rang back. His eyes got HUGE, he took a deep breath, and he said "Mommy! Mommy! It's Jesus. He got more!!" and shoved the phone back to me. How precious that was:)!! The best part...the printer began to work within seconds after our "talk" with Jesus!! Gotta love our God:)!! He's pretty flippin' awesome!!
