She got so into it that she ended up smashing her face on the edge of the coffee table. She busted open her lip, cut up her gums, and has a wiggly tooth or two. There was a ton of blood and if Doug wasn't home to talk me out of it, I would have gone straight to the ER. It was pretty scary, and I assumed she would be cautious around that table from now on.
But I put on some praise music this morning and she immediately starts skipping around the table saying, "Come on, Mom!"
"Be careful!!!" I nervously yelled back. But she just smiled with her still swollen mouth and kept moving and wiggling.
Regardless of the pain, the fear, the embarrassment.. she was right back to praising. I thought, "I want that reckless, right back at it, kinda praise!" Careless of consequence when it comes to giving my God the glory. But maybe we should put some padding around that coffee table in the meantime!
"I will celebrate before the LORD. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes."
(2 Samuel 6:21b-22a)
