Recently, Nui-nui hasn't been drinking water from her pink Hello Kitty thermos or My Melody thermos. So we resorted to using a medicine dropper to keep her hydrated. Well tonight... I decided to give her the non-spill cup we bought a while back. We bought it b/c it looked cute...but upon trying it, both Joyce and I could barely suck the water out. So we thought Nui-nui wouldn't take to its liking. Lo and behold... she inhaled half of the water in a matter of seconds!
And it got me thinking... sometimes, kids want a challenge. And if we as parents assume they're lazy... then our assumption will quickly come to pass. So let's give our kids a little challenge... maybe they'll surprise us!
And in a way... isn't that what our Abba Father is trying to do to us? He wants us to surpass our limits because He wants us to grow. We shouldn't shudder away whenever there's an impediment or obstacle... or a sippy cup that's especially hard to drink from. We ought to embrace the challenge and be thankful He's helping us grow...
Take heart my friend... your challenges is a blessing.
Mood: enlightened
