Day 4

12-7-09

After analyzing my monday, I realize how dependent we are to God. As a child is to his father...or mother...

I was watching a 4 year old, and I must say, while he is one of the best 4 yr olds I've ever met, it was not easy.

At this age, they are incredibly interested in doing things "by myself!' and many times,they don't realize that without help, they can actually hurt themselves. Also, I noticed the "how come" and "why" and "but"...also the pleadings "can I pleeeease have.." "but I was a good boy," and "just this one time"...

and with this bundle of joy by my side, it was almost amusing to me that he reflected me..a 4 year old in God's daycare-so to speak. how many times I felt confident enough to do things my own way, by myself...how many times I asked and begged and pleaded...while He knew better...so through this child, God showed me a reflection of myself. T

Thank you Lord for speaking to me through a child.
