"moregain?"

do you find joy in the repetitive? mary does. when she finds something she loves, she wants to do it over and over again. eric and i just love how she says "moregain?" (stands for more? again?) when she wants to repeat something. this morning mary was sitting on the counter in our bathroom while i was getting ready (ps. this is one of my favorite times....watching mary in a confined area finding ways to be creative and playing with "babies" in the shapes of makeup containers, etc..) i turned the hairdryer towards mary's face and then turned it away. she got the biggest kick out of that and said "moregain"....and off we went....over and over i turned the hairdryer towards her and then away...and each time she was equally tickled.

this week at church, the guest pastor spoke on the joy of the repetitive. he said that the things we do everyday, over and over, are things that God thinks we will really enjoy....so He planned for us to do them over and over. he also said that our sins have grown us old and that keeps us from enjoying the repetitive like a child does. so i'm praying to find joy in the repetitive....even when the repetitive is doing the dishes for the second time today.
