We are driving in the car and the song Everlasting God by Chris Tomlin comes on the radio. I am singing along and thankfully both of my boys were born with an insane amount of love and grace for their mommas singing, they just humor me and let me go!
Tyler asks from the back seat, "mom while I wait on the Lord am I supposed to be sitting or standing?"
Whoa..did you catch that? First my soon to be four year old asks, "while I wait….." He is including himself in this whole waiting for God thing, like he gets it. And second his only concern is whether he is "supposed to be sitting or standing?"
Again my boy has taught me the importance of simplicity! He does get it my friends. I am the one who tries to go and do something, or put in my two cents. I am the one who has a hard time just sitting or standing!
May you keep your waiting simple!

Funny how us adults complicate things isn't it, kids just see them as they are. God's grace isn't complicated....it's like the Nike slogan 'just do it' or in this case 'Just let God do it' Ran across your blog and wanted to say hi.

Hi, first time here, so glad I came by because this was a great post. I've been singing this song all week, as a matter of fact.
So glad you popped in over at my Trees & Thorns blog. And a big THANK YOU for leaving your comment of affirmation!!
Our kids are pretty powerful teachers! Tyler gets an "A" for the day!!
Loved your post today. My daughter asked me the other day "What would you do if Jesus came back right now?" and when I turned the question back to her she said "Fall on my knees and yell "My Savior!"
Jesus said Let the little children come unto me. He also said that unless we believe like a child we can get into the kindgom of heaven. They get it!
Thanks for posting with the Dees family today!
I know what mean, sister...I'm a "goer" and a "doer" too. Not ever one to sit and wait! :0)
It's amazing what God teaches us through our children.
