He teaches me through my children!

I have learned so many spiritual lessons through the mouth and actions of these little ones God has given me.
Aiden our 1yr old decided a couple of months ago that he is much too mature and independent to need mommy or daddy to feed him. So meals for him usually look like this he's a total mess, the floors a total mess and he pretty much didn't eat anything. So once I put him down b/c he thinks he's done he begins to crawl around the kitchen floor looking for food, crumbs anything he can get in his mouth.
As I watched Aiden hungrily seeking those crumbs it made me mad and sad. It made me angry because I just spent 30min trying to feed him myself, then letting him feed himself because he was fighting me and finally just letting him be done. It made me sad because it was such a vivid picture of how we are with God at times. He is feeding us from His feast at the table and we reject it and want to do it ourselves. But when we do it ourselves we only get little tid bits in our mouth not ever reaching full satisfaction so we begin searching for those crumbs on the floor. Yet at the top is a table laid out with a feast for us.
