We went swimming with Nana and Papa today at the pool in their town home complex. Henry wanted to jump in. Papa caught him, or tried to. That first time Henry struggled a bit and went underwater... after the spluttering and the brief moment of "I want my Nana," Henry decided, actually "it was kinda fun."
Oh my word he surprises me. But after that he wouldn't "jump" off the edge unless his Papa's hands were inches away.
I need to be like that with the Lord. I need to jump into his arms... but unlike Henry, I have to trust that they will catch me even when I can't see him there. I don't mean to sermon-ize... but I just really need to remember Who made me and holds me in His hands.

Sermonize all you want to - your comments were "right on." I need to do the same thing!
