Family Life

I read this quote and thought of Tripp. Terri and I played peek a boo with his shirt last night and he laughed so hard each and every time we played. He brings such joy to our lives. Never thought parenting would teach me so much about God. We are so blessed that God is giving us another child to teach us even more. The expectation makes me want to yell like Tripp "again, again" to God.

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.
