John and Lisa's Blue Skies Blog – Soaring with God

I was about seven months old when I had the following realization
(not in words, of course):

Mother, you’re not
going to give me
what I need, are you?
You’re going to give me
what YOU need.
Or nothing.
So – I give up
on trying to get
anything from you.

“I am sure I shall see the LORD’s goodness
in the land of the living.
I hope in Him, hold firm and take heart.
I hope in the LORD!”
(Psalm 27:13-14)
