This morning I noticed C fighting an imaginary bad buy with his "sword". This narrative was different because instead of fighting and winning every battle, he would "fight" and the invisible enemy would land a serious blow and C would fall. After laying on the unforgiving ground taking deep breaths, he would rally and stand to fight the foe anew. This pattern continued for some time until C got bored claimed victory.
One of my favorite verses in the Book of Mormon is Alma 56:44. The prophet Helaman is the army captain to 2000 young boys. They were being pursued by the enemy when suddenly they realize they are no longer being followed. They are unsure what to do and are afraid it's a trap. After weighing the pros and cons, Helaman asks, "Therefore what say ye, my sons, will ye go against them to battle?" They decide to turn around and fight and find themselves in the middle of a bloody battle that they ultimately help win. Not one of the 2000 young boys are killed, but they all have wounds, many of them serious.
While I watched C I thought of that scripture story and of life's parallels. We each fight our own "bad guys" and the bad guys land some brutal blows and we are down for the count. There are times in our lives when it is harder to get up, but it is a win every time we stand no matter how long it takes.
Later that evening M and C were inspired to recreate a scene from a Puppy Dog Pals episode where one puppy conducted a musical performance. M played the piano while C conducted. C dressed in a bow tie for the occasion and took a deep bow as the final chords of the piano faded.
