Gregory is so close to walking, and yet he doesn't know it. He has amazed us today at the amount of time he will stand, without realizing it. He holds up a toy for us to see, shaking it in delight, growling, and standing on his own. He'll even take steps from place to place without cruising. He could walk, but he doesn't know it yet.
Sometimes I feel this way in my walk and relationship with Christ. How close I can be to freedom. To joy. Peace. Love. Anything, really. And yet, so far away.
It requires a choice. A small choice, but one that will definitely change my destiny, even for a small moment during the course of the day. God watches as I learn to walk. Helps me along the way. Guides my path. Gives me grace and strength. Hope. Even when I don't realize it. Don't feel it.
Amazing how much children teach us, eh?
Brian worked on choosing materials to remodel my parents' house today. So far, he has the landing floor complete. It looks great--my husband is a genius!
And Greg said "cracker" (ka-ker) today. And "all done."
Smiles!
Jenny was like that. Just standing while Flora ran circles around her. Saw a baby yesterday two weeks older than Alexa crawling around and pulling up.
