Inside out and backwards

I just wanted to post a quick little thing about my Ethan. Yesterday I wanted to post it, but I didn't have time, so I am doing it today. He always comes out of his room with something else on that he decided to put on himself. Like different pants or shorts. A lot of the time he comes out just stark naked. That's how he rolls. Well, yesterday he did it again, and usually he gets the article of clothing on the right way. But this time he came out with a shirt on that was inside out and backwards. He was so proud that he put it on. I laughed at him and said, "honey, that is inside out and backwards!" He looked at me without a hint of worry and said "no not. It's right." I sat back and watched him proceed to play with his toys. Sometimes we think things are all wrong in our lives. They seem not at all what they are "supposed" to be. If we could just have that attitude that it is all okay, and then go on with our daily activities without a care in the world, we might not be so uptight. Well, at least I can speak for myself. Just let God deal with the wrong things in our lives. He wants us to be joyful of what we have and what He has given us. I love how Ethan gave me this little lesson yesterday. Just don't worry mom...it's right.

Ah, yes, the lessons God teaches me through my children. Recently I am learning to look to Him first instead of proceeding on my own and assuming that He is following behind. It amazes me how I hear God's words speaking to me in the words I speak to my kids.
