Life...

Have you ever watched a newborn suck on a pacifier? You should sometime. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck - breathe, breathe, and do it again, and again, and again. :) I was holding Caleb last night after he had dinner and he was loving the pacifier. For the first time he was eyes wide open for a long period of time and interacting with the world around him. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck - breath, breathe. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck - breathe, breath. Sitting in the arms of his father, trusting without yet being able to articulate it that his life will be sustained. Suck, suck, suck, breathe, breathe.



What a picture for the Christian! To have the ability to rest so completely in the arms of the Father and enjoy the simple things in life. To trust in breathe and life. To be fed from a source outside yourself. To be sustained by another. To have your eyes wide open trying to perceive and understand what is around you. To interact without going out and creating your own issues from sin, the desire to control, or the 'need' to fulfill desires. Would that as adults we could learn to live life in the manner of babes,

Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck - breathe, breathe.
