Rule # 3 of the Chivalry Code according to 19th century French historian Leon Gautier: Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
Today, upon arriving to work, I spotted what I thought was a dead rodent on the sidewalk right in front of where I park each morning. So I was prepared to grab a shovel and scrape the little rat off of the sidewalk and into the woods (or at least I was going to get my boss to do it!)
But upon further investigation I found it to be a baby rabbit still kicking. But he was kicking on his side and then taking a break. Well I was a little nervous that I would find him incredibly punctured on the opposite side...so I was prepared for the worst. I went in and put my stuff down in the church. By the time I had gotten back to him/her, he/she had flipped over, and looked completely intact! So I cradled him in my hands and told him it would be ok. He seemed to understand that I was taking him to safety, because he didn't kick at all while in my hands. But his little eyes stared up at me the whole time. We bonded!
Life is just so precious. Maybe that's why I am hooked on watched "Babies: Special Deliveries" on Discovery Health each evening.
Recently I have been shown through numerous avenues how much balance is required in life. I started noticing it as we began learning about diabetes, and how much balance Stephen needed to have in order to keep his blood sugar at a healthy level. Then I started noticing how VERY important balance is in a marriage and sex. And then this morning, this little bunny needed more balance in his life. It's such a delicate balance and his was thrown off kilter.
When things are out of balance in a marriage, fights and hurt feelings arise. When the balance is off in a uterus, bad things happen. (Did you know that the placenta actually starts to die after 40 weeks? And it's actually dangerous for a woman to carry a baby much past that time. God sure does keep a delicate balance.)
Balance. It's what we need, it's what we want!
