March 25, 2022 – The past week we have had our granddaughter ‘Faith’ staying with us. She is 3 and from the time she wakes up until she goes to sleep she is non-stop energy. She is always investigating whatever she finds. She does not seem to fear much but goes ahead and tries and/or touches everything. That means we have to constantly be watching and making sure she is safe.
She is full of questions wanting to know more. Sometimes she is thinking and then explains to us what she has figured out – watching logic and cause and effect become real to her is amazing.
She loves music and wants to dance when it comes on. She doesn’t like to dance alone so Granma and/or Pa have to dance with her. Needless to say, we are a bit more tired than normal but to watch her learn and grow is encouraging.
As I think about our time with Faith I am reminded that Spiritual faith requires much of the same things. Trying new things without fear, going for it with all your energy, trusting God to keep us safe, asking lots of questions, and figuring out the impact it will have. Finally, we need to learn to celebrate and bring others in as we do!
Faith has reminded us to keep going and to trust the God, who loves us and cares for us, is watching out for us just like were watching out for our granddaughter, making sure as she grows and tries things, she has what she needs.
We hope and pray that God will be growing your FAITH as well!
