Little Miss

What to do with a toddler who wants what she wants when she wants it??  I’ve taken to calling her “Little Miss”.  She pretends like she is listening to me, but truth be told, she usually has little intention to do it.  There is a sweetness in her.  She has an active imagination and likes to cuddle in a lap.  On the other hand, she can be mean to her sister and brother.  She has a complete meltdown when she does not get her way.  I was thinking of how often we treat our heavenly Father this way.  He tries to give us instruction, we pretend to listen – but we don’t really intend to change, much less give up what looks like so much fun.  What we want is to do things “our” way.  Oh our Father is so patient with us.  Oh He loves us so much.  Oh for open ears and heart to hear and obey what God is asking me to do!
