September 16 – “The mystery of the missing mustache hair”


Chris had an interesting exchange with our granddaughter Noa the other day.  When Noa walked in she was insistent on getting Chris’ attention.  It was as if something serious was wrong.  So Chris gave her full attention.  Noa then queried, “What happened to your mustache hair?”  Immediately confused Chris asked her to repeat.  “What happened to your mustache hair?” was the clear reply. 

Now more confused than ever, Chris explained, “But Noa, I don’t have mustache hair.”  Insistent now, Now pressed on, “Yes, you do, Nana.  What happened to your mustache hair?”  Chris was just about to give up when Noa took her own long blonde hair, pulled it over her head and toward the front of her face so that it hung down in her eyes.  “What happened to your mustache hair?” 

Now Chris understood what she was talking about.  Of course.  Mustache Hair.  Bangs.  The question was, “What happened to your bangs.”  So Chris finally had an answer.  “I have them pinned back to keep them out of my eyes.”  Noa was completely satisfied with that.  I guess she was afraid Nan had gotten hold of some scissors and given herself a haircut.  Naughty, naughty Nana.

2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

Father, thank you for Noa.  She and her two girl cousins are teaching us a whole new world of girl-dom.  Amen.
