A child's view

I want to first apologize for the long wait.  After two years of being unemployed, I recently started a new job. Praise God for that.  If you remember, please pray for my son, he maybe needing surgery.

Now, new post...
This time I am not putting on a picture.  My son, who is twelve, is the inspiration behind this post.

We were recently driving through our town, and he saw a man on his bike.  Beside the bike was this man's dog, who was not leashed.  My son watched this two-some until we drove by, then he sat in reflection for a few minutes before turning to me.
"We are like that mom," he said
"How?"  I asked, wondering what he was meaning.
"God is like the man on the bike."  He began.  "We are like that dog.  God has us off the leash, trusting us that we will follow Him.  But we're like bad dogs.  We get distracted by things and run away."


Only through the eyes of a child, are we reminded how much God loves us and wants us to trust and follow only Him.
