Childlike

Greg and I were just praying over the house situation. After the prayer, Greg says to me, "I couldn't help feeling like Jacob asking for the iPod Touch." (because that is what he desperately wants) I reminded Greg that God is not our genie, but as Jacob's parents, don't we want to give him "every good thing"? We know an iPod Touch would make him happy and we want him to be happy, but FIRST we want him to be responsible, respectful and obedient. God wants all that from and for us too. He is our Heavenly Father and He loves us more than we could ever love our own children.
