Here's a conversation I had with Seth (2 yrs) the other day...
Seth: I wan nack mama.
Me: Seth, you need to say please.
Seth: Pease mama, I have nack now!
Me: I'm sorry Seth maybe in a little while.
Seth: No mama, I have nack now!!
Me: Not right now, maybe after lunch.
Seth (crying and throwing a fit): Pease mama, pease!
Well, this reminded me of another conversation...
Me: Lord can I have such and such?
God: Did you say please?
Me: Lord can I please have such and such?
God: Not right now, maybe later.
Me: But God I really need this now!
God: Wait, I will do it when I know it's best for you.
Me (crying and throwing a fit): Please Lord, please!
I wonder how many times God has gotten tired of hearing me fuss and whine about not getting what I wanted, when I wanted it. This really had me thinking. I want to be a child that doesn't argue when God says no. I want to wait and see His plan for my life!!

Great insight! I am often amazed at how much our relationship with our kids is very much like our relationship with God. Puts it into a different perspective!
Thanks for sharing that Great thought! :)
So true!!! There are so many parallels...
(And I can relate with that scene over a snack at my house!)
Now that's a good thought. I want the same thing too... now.
Amen! We are like spoiled little children with Him so often, aren't we? Thanks for sharing this comparison.
So true...and just like a mom, His love never changes for His child! I'm so glad to be His child!!
