Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

I Can Do It

We went to the Decatur Children's Museum today.  The three younger ones stayed with me, but Prince Berryboy went to a class with the rest of our homeschooling group.  I had to laugh, smile, and feel just a bit wistful when one of the other moms told me how well he did.

"I asked if he needed help with the craft, and he kept saying, 'I can do it.  I'll catch up to everyone eventually.'"

How often do I prevent my children from enjoying the joy of doing it themselves because I don't want to wait for them to "catch up to everyone eventually"?

Daniel 2:21  "He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them.  He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning."

All of it is in His hands.  Why do I try to be the one in control when I can't even make the temperature stay a nice, temperate 72F for a few days straight?

Why do I not appreciate the individuality of my children and their need to do things themselves, in their own time, in their own way.

They'll catch up to everyone eventually.
