Kingdom Reflections from Two Year Old Point of View

My husband and I where just talking today about how our little two year old teaches us about the Kingdom, scriptures tell us to come to the father as a child, so we have been watching how Gianna comes to her father when she wants or needs something. Let me tell you she may say it quietly at first then she becomes very demanding and expects that no matter what she is requesting that her father is able and will do it. That reminds me of the scripture that says that the feverent prayers of the righteous avails much.. The other thing we watched happened today was she asked for some stoup, translation-soup and by the time daddy had gotten the stoup on the table which was not soon enough for her she had gone on to something else, ice cream. Mind you ice cream not an option, it was too early in the day no to mention we simply did not have any. Try explaining that to a two year old. I was in the bathroom getting ready for work while all this commotion was going on with her and the Lord says to me, my children are like her, you ask for something and you get it and you no longer want it because you have moved onto something else and just like with your two year old I will make you become satisfied with what you have requested before you can receive something more.

  1. Wow, good thoughts Leanne! I miss the lessons we receive when our children are younger! The Lord knows what we need better than we know ourselves. We just need to trust Him.. Giona is a wonderful little girl.

    Love you!!
