Moments of Grace

Happy Friday…in Lent. How was your week? Mine was fun, boring, loud, unexpected, the usual…all wrapped into one.

It snowed! Well for our state, we considered it a snow. Those of you up North would probably consider it a dusting.

The kids and dog had a great day playing in it. Speaking of the dog, Miss Lucy is on my list. Last Sunday her little sharp puppy teeth tore 4 items of clothing…4!! And then during the week, I was wearing one of my favorite denim skirts and she tore the back of it! We need her to quit nipping. We hold her mouth and tell her a firm no, and that makes no difference. So now we hold her mouth and give her a bop on the nose. I have not seen a change yet. Thankfully my neighbor thinks we can cut and hem the skirt.

Tell us about your Moments of Grace from this past week. Where did you and God finally meet up in your day to day? Was it sitting in the carpool line, when He whispered and got your attention? Or walking through the grocery store? Maybe a late night nursing? Share in the comments or link up if you have a blog.

Just a funny notion that you mention snow. My husband and I live in South Carolina, but we are from Ohio. Anyways while we were out eating last week they told us Columbia, SC got snow. I was literally saying, “Bring It” if it came towards us (we live in the Charleston Area). But alas it did not!

I do not know off hand about the puppy destroying things. I know it sounds odd, but it have rope or toys or some kind there? My mom noticed that if she found something that had the same material as what they were chewing up it would help stop them from chewing up things. She would pop the dog on the nose and then I think do something like place an object they are not allowed to chew and an object they can and would watch them. If the dog went towards what they were not allowed she would pop them. It is a process and sometimes a hassle, but it is worth it.

Looks like your little one is enjoying the week’s snow! I don’t know much about dogs, but ours prefer shoes over clothes . Have a happy weekend!
