Matthew loves to balance on the boards surrounding my raised flower bed and walk around and around. He holds my hand for support and falls once an a while, but climbs right back up to keep going. I thought of so many questions/analogies while I was holding his hand and circling with him. Here are just a couple.
1. How often do I go in circles with God holding my hand before I find the straight path again?
2. If I fall off my course in life do I rise to the challange and get right back up with excitement to keep going or do I stay down believing it is too scary or unsafe to continue?
3. I'm glad God never gets bored or distracted with me as I do with Matthew after a few trips around.
4. There is always a different way to view the world. I can choose to see the barriers to fun (Matthew isn't allowed to play in my garden) or I can make the most of what is in front of me and play!
It sure is a learning experience being a Mom. I have never had my relationship with Christ so paralleled (where is the spell checker on this thing) in every day life before.

Great analogies! I think about stuff like that too when I'm with my kids too. I think being a mom is by far one of the most sanctifying seasons of life! It's awesome to see God's heart for us as we love on our kids. Glad I can enjoy this season of life with you!
