The abundant rain has left its mark all around us. Yesterday, we let David splash and play in muddy puddles. His little jeans were soaked through, and flecks of mud were spattered even to his face. What delight and abandon as he marched in the water, a tiny explorer learning about his Creator's wondrous world.
As I reflect on the joy of my little guy, I realize that I need to let my children discover more, get dirtier, make purposeful messes, and follow more of their natural curiosity. I want to know their hearts. I want to find out who God has made them to be. I pray that I will not fail them as I try to shape and direct them for God's glory. I pray that I will discern every unique quality of my children and help each to grow to full maturity.
