My cutie and me outside
Samuel LOVES being outside. But when he first wakes up, he wants to be on mommy's lap. In order to make the mornings go most smoothly, I have to get his breakfast, drink, and my coffee ready before he wakes up. I also have to plan to not go anywhere until at least an hour after he wakes up.
He has to have a list of things in his hands in order to be completely at rest. So when he gets ready to get on my lap he is fumbling his drink, breakfast, and usually at least one toy (a train or truck) and gets frustrated. I constantly tell him to come to me and I will get everything he needs. But I see the struggle of him wanting to do it himself and him wanting to sit with me and trust that I am going to do what I say.
This made me think of how we are with God. God gets things ready for us, often by letting us be in certain circumstances or even just by having the sun rise. I feel like I have to get a list of things ready or think about all the things I have to do that day before I can sit with him. But He says to come to Him and He will take care of the rest. I do find that the days I sit with Him first thing in the morning, especially when I am not rushed, the rest of my day is more joyful. That doesn't mean it goes smoothly, but I have a better attitude and mindset. I am less frustrated and trust that God will keep His promises to me. In other words, my "outside" time is so much more enjoyable.
