“Where’s Micah?”

I know the pic quality isn’t the best here (and please look past the pink designs on the stairs, which still need to be painted taupe to match the wall!). But this moment was too too funny!

Mara hid in Daddy’s shirt, which was hanging on the railing by the stairs.

Micah was just laughing hysterically. He could hardly contain himself. He tried to “hide” first by covering his head with his hands.

Then he “hid” in Daddy’s shirt too. And he found himself to be just as funny as Mara was!

Micah’s laugh is sooo contagious!  I was just dying laughing too–but I couldn’t help thinking as I looked at these pictures: how true to human nature!

My 1yo believes he is “hiding.” But the only thing Mom and Dad can’t see is his face.

My 2yo believes she is “hiding.” But we can clearly see her feet and identify her there behind the shirt.

As we grow older, we find more sophisticated ways to “hide” who we really are or wrong things we are doing. We believe we are “hiding.” . . .  But it’s really no different than little Micah, with his face in the shirt: we aren’t fooling our Heavenly Father, who sees everything we do and knows us intimately.

I just couldn’t help being struck by those thoughts as I looked at these pictures.
