My
daughter Sarah called the other night and relayed this story to me.....
My three
year old grandson Seth likes to color and draw but frequently the paper slides
around on the table so Sarah uses painters tape and secures it. One day, Seth found his own tape and tried to
attach his paper to the table. His mom
glanced over at him and discovered that he had made a horrible mess. Clear, sticky Scotch tape was everywhere and
his little hands were entangled in it.
"Oh, Sethie, can I help you?" she exclaimed.
With a
strong, determined ring to his normally sweet little voice, he said, "
No, I can
hanno (handle) this myself!"
Big
sister, Selma, came around the corner, saw what was going on and grabbed the
tape away from him. "Come on, Seth,
I'll help you."
Defiantly
and with anger in his voice, he ripped the tape back from her and loudly
yelled, "I hanno this MYSELF!"
Sarah
laughingly said that at that moment she had a vision of what we must look like
to God the Father. We try to be self-sufficient and handle life in our own way
when all the time a simple request for His help would yield all we would need.
God says,
“My
grace is sufficient for you. My power is
made perfect in your weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
Have a
good day! Love, Sue
