Yesterday, while relaxing at home, we heard a thud. I looked around the corner and saw Easton crying and picking himself up off the hardwood floor. As he wobbled to stand, Joy said, "Did he just pee in the floor?"
(Now to fully understand this story, you need to know that we sometimes let Easton run around without a diaper on...to air out.)
As I tried to wipe up the urine with a towel, Easton was adamant about playing in it. He was crying as I shielded him from it when I heard Joy say, "Buddy, we're just trying to save you."
It hit me instantly. God wants us to stop playing in our pee (bad habits, sin, wrong direction, etc). Not to stop our fun or life experience. He's just trying to save us (from harm, hurt, etc). Why? Well, because that's what a good Father does.
Elementary? Maybe. But a great reminder.
Scripture reference: Proverbs 26:11
