Emily and I received the privilege of watching our good friends’ daughters for a few days recently.
While the girls were mostly a blast, we did encounter some attitude from one and a few def-con 4 poopy diapers from the other! (I really don’t think a smelly diaper will intimidate me ever again.) I used the word “privilege” earlier because, like most difficult things in life, they are for your own growth and your own good.
I came face to face many times that weekend with the incessant desire to have the world revolve around me. As it turns out, children seem to revolve around themselves, as well. (The physics behind all this must be mind-bending.)
Even though Emily and I don’t have children yet, we received this grace: a glimpse into a world where the family’s only hope is to revolve around the Savior.
Jesus, please continue to show me why You are the only one worthy of worship.
Growing Forward
