I tell Jacob, “Time to go on a car ride!”
I open the garage door, get my things. He walks out. I go back in to get something else.
Find him out on the front lawn just sitting.
“Come on! Let’s go!”
Shakes his head.
“We need to go!”
Nope.
Sigh. I go pick him up amid his much protesting.
That day I thought I had to be a Human Doing, instead of a Human Being.
I should have followed his example now that I look back at this picture.
Next time. Sadly, there won’t ever be that exact moment again. I ignored that moment in time, and that moment will never come back.
Often I think that kids are sent to us to remind us to just BE.
Be quiet. Be still. Enjoy just being. Love our being. Love our fellow beings.
Sit and feel nature and God’s love surround you.
Sit and feel of your child’s love.
“And a little child shall lead them.” – Isiah 11:6
