God is So Good!

This morning, Caleb had just woken up. He was so smiley and happy. I laid him on the changing table to put his clothes on him and he just beamed at me.

That was when it hit me.

God is so good!

Being a parent is a rough job. God knows that. He uses it for his good. Each day, he is using Caleb to teach me. Some days I learn about my own selfishness. Other days I am reminded of how much I need God's wisdom. Or how I must trust in Him for things I can't see. Some days I must lay down my wants and desires for the needs of my son.

God is so good!

He could have taught me any of these lessons through painstaking trials. And sometimes parenthood feels that way. But the truth is, loving and caring for little Caleb is a great joy.

God is so good!

He is using someone precious and sweet to teach me. He didn't have to do that.

But I'm so very glad He did.
