Paci Boy
Some
children are just naturally funny. Griffin is one of those; he cracks me up.
One morning on his recent visit to Colorado he appeared in our bedroom with
bedhead and four pacifiers in his mouth...four. Most mouths are not big enough
for two, but he was able to fit all four into his, including a girlie pink one.
The
question became why? Why would he want or need four? He sleeps with all of them
each night using them one at a time exchanging them out. When one gets too hot
or too wet or too something else, he pulls it out and goes on to the next one.
It was complicated to me...one would have been much easier to keep up with and
to manage, but what do I know?
Our
world has become too complicated also. We have excess everything in this
country. We have too many gadgets, too many clothes, too many TVs, too many
cars, too many bedrooms, too many ________ (you fill in the blank).
All
of these “things” distract us from enjoying the most important things people,
relationships, conversations, even God. Why do we think we need more when really all we
need is to be content with what God has graciously provided to us?
Philippians
4:11-12 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be
content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know
what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any
and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in
want.
