Last night, PJ and I were working in the kitchen and Ramsey was playing nearby. I had a Hymnal out on the kitchen counter and I said, "Ramsey, go put the book on the piano." He took the book into the living room and he just so happened to have been playing earlier with a little toy piano (about 1 foot long). I heard PJ laughing and she said, "Look, Honey!" Ramsey had balanced that Hymnal right on top of his little keyboard. Well, maybe he didn't get it exactly where I wanted it, but he was obedient and I was so proud of him! It made me feel great that he listened to my voice and responded to my instructions. I know that he has a desire to have purpose and it's my job to direct him and lead him. I also know that he will benefit and be healthy from obeying his mommy and daddy.
It makes me wonder how much it pleases God when we listen to him and obey his voice. I think it makes him proud of us when we follow his lead. He knows what decisions are best for us. He has a plan that is so fruitful and satisfying. We just need to yield to his direction and correction and we will undoubtedly fulfill our purpose in life. Thank you God for being my daddy. -Aaron
