There are so many instances where I am teaching my toddler a lesson and I wonder, "Is this how I act towards God?" (It's sad that I can sometimes equate my behavior/actions with a toddler's; just keeping it real.)
For instance, this morning I heard my toddler exuding a considerable amount of effort in the other room trying to move a huge bin of toys. Naturally, I offered some assistance.
Him: I do it!
Me: Well, I'm stronger and I can lift this for you.
Him: No help! I do it!
Pant, groan, push, strain.....
I had to smile. It sounds like recent conversations I've had with God:
"I got this!"
"I'll pray if things go wrong!"
"It's under control!"
Pant, groan, push, strain.....
And, perhaps, He steps back and watches me...smiles...and loves me anyway.

I like that. Sounds like my life and kid.
Isn't that the truth! I always imagine Jesus telling me "Calm your heart, Sarah..." now. Ha!
Love it! SO very true!
