Another Jacob Blog

I am sure that I could come up with a pretty interesting Jaocb blog. 
There is the new sunglasses and the frequency in which he puts them on.  After he puts them on there is the which eye is open quiz.  He looks pretty sweet in his aviators.
There is the grocery list incident.  We needed sugar.  I told Jacob to put it on the grocery list.  Now the average person would just write "sugar" on the grocery list and call it a day.  Not Jacob though.  He gets himself a Sharpie and a little wirebound notebook.  With every item he put on the list, he would lick the tip of the sharpie.  The list consisted of sugar, kool aid, tequila.  It ended with cocaine.  Jacob had black dots on his tongue.  I will write my own list for the store.
But here is the story taht I want to share about Jacob.  Jacob is the voice of God.  Not like the voice that Moses heard in The Ten Commandments, but he seems to say what I need to here.  I just don't listen.  Tonight someone related a story that they had heard at a talk by famous people.  In the story, someone is angry at a child, is frustrated and is ready to yell, rant, rave.  But instead they listen to an inner voice they hear that tells them to just hug thier child.  So they hug their child and all is well.  This person felt like that inner voice was the voice of God.
So often, I will be in the middle of something.  It is rarely something important, but I have deemed it as important.  I will be frustrated or irritated or some other 'ated and Jacob will come over and give me a hug.  I usually get more 'ated and rarely appreciate the hug.  But tonight it finally occured to me that Jacob's hugs are what I need when I am 'ated. 
He is doing what he has done his entire lifee, loving me.  So I am not going to get frustrated with him when he muscles in on me while I am folding clothes or paying bills.   I am gonna take that hug like it is the gift from God that it is.
