~Why~

Day 4 Why

"Why, mommy?" .......

 I have a little toddler grandson right now who is still at the stage of taking in everything he sees in the world around him, without really talking about it. He points, he smiles, he laughs, he claps, he runs toward, he touches. But he hasn’t really started talking yet. He hasn’t started asking “Why?”.

Oh, he let’s us know what he wants, but we’re not really answering his questions. We are more often just telling him what we think he wants or needs to hear. The questions aren’t coming. Yet. One day he’s going to start asking "why?"  That will be interesting!

 I love how a child’s questions are both simple and deep. Asking questions means we’re engaging with the world around us. It’s healthy to ask questions. 

I believe God is good with us asking questions, too. He’s all ears and, because He loves us, He will reveal the answers at the right time. We may want the answers sooner than we get them, though!
