Whoever decided to call the stage after being a infant, "toddler" was very smart.
(The definition of toddle is: "to walk with short unsteady steps, as a child does when learning to walk")
It is so funny to see Alexa walk, because 70% of the time she is wobbly and trying to balance herself. My niece fell down today after my brother growled at her. It was very funny (since she was not hurt of course!)Also it kinda amazes me how much little kids run into things. I mean its almost as if they don't realize they can't go through certain objects. (And well, to be honest I still run into things a lot too! haha).
I think that also is a good way of looking at the Christian life. Even after we learn to walk, we are still fairly unsteady most of the time, either because we run into things, get scared or just don't have the confidence to stand a long time. We forget that God is right there and if we start to lose our balance we just look to Him for support. After all He is the one showing us how to walk, it just makes sense to look to Him for help doing so. I mean babies don't learn to walk watching cats, gribbles, birds or fish. They learn by seeing those around them walk, by being stood up over and over and over and over and over again.
I hope to be able to walk, and steadily too. Lord help me to look to You, and only You as an example of how to do so.
With love, to Love. Amen
