He Leads.

Yesterday I went to the store to get some meat to grill for Labor Day weekend. I only needed one thing, meat. I walked out of the store with five things, two of which I did not need. It happens when I shop with a strong willed toddler. Redirecting a child against his will is hard, in the struggle I abandoned my list.

As hard as it is for me, it is harder for him. It is hard to take direction when you do not want to be directed. If only my son could grab hold of how much I love him in those moments his mind and will and emotions speak against what is best for him.

I understand. I am a child of a Heavenly Father who loves me with a perfect love. Nonetheless, I struggle to abandon myself to Him. Seems silly knowing what I know about my imperfections and His flawlessness. Things go better when....

He Leads.
