Child of God

For anyone who knows my Jameson, they know that he is accident prone. He hurts himself everyday, sometimes several times a day. It may be a scraped knee, a bumped head, or a splinter. Today, it seemed as if everytime I turned around, I was preventing an accident from happening. Moving a shoe, before he tripped over it, as he came running up the hall. Putting my hand over the corner of our kitchen table as he raised up from under it. It's just a natural instinct we have as mothers. We're always on the lookout for the safety of our kids. I thought about how he didn't even realize that he almost got hurt. He was in his own little wonderful world, caught up in play, and imagining he was a hermit crab, (or maybe it was a lobster, everyday he pretends to be a different animal).
I couldn't help but think how God does this same thing for us. I wondered how many times I've been on the brink of an accident or difficult time and before I even sensed anything was wrong, he had already sent his angels and intervened. I love it when God takes situations with my children, and through them gives me a glimpse of just how much he loves me, as one of his children!
