Another Lesson from a Babe
Little Belle is quite impatient these days. She wants what she wants; when she wants it, end of discussion. She whines first and then pitches- a- fit if whatever she wants doesn’t come quick enough. One of the worst times for this is at breakfast. She’s not a big eater and generally eats very little at dinner so by morning she’s pretty hungry. She has little patience with me while I’m preparing her meal. The situation can be extremely frustrating because I’m making her breakfast as fast as I can and I know that she’ll be fed. She’s not old enough to reason with so she just screams. I wish she could understand that the food is coming, but she doesn’t. This morning after the breakfast ordeal she because very impatient while my dear husband was trying to get the DVD player to work. As she was fussing I was reminded again of my relationship with God. I want what I want, when I want it. I often become impatient with God when things don’t seem to be happening fast enough or when things happen that I just don’t understand. And, just as Little Belle can not understand all that her father and I understand I can not understand all that God knows and sees.
It helps to remember that God sees all and knows all even when I can’t.
