Innocent Insights

I was deeply inspired and awed by my six year old the other day. There we were at the beach playing in the water. The sun was shinning, it was the perfect day. We watched the boy next to us that was half boy, half dare devil. His mother was clearly fed up with his antics.

The next thing we know, this little boy begins sobbing. He comes running out of the water crying for his mom. His favorite goggles had taken a hit and were washed away with the tide. It didn't matter to him that his mother had another pair of goggles for him, he wanted his favorite pair.
Mya was busy observing this and looked to me and said, "Well, God and angels must love him very much. They knew he was being unsafe and that making his goggles go away would get his attention and make him stop."

As we talked about her insight I came to understand in the context of my own life and really, life in general. How many times have I not gotten what I wanted or felt what I wanted slip through my finger tips?

It is easy to wonder why we aren't getting what we want. Usually though, as we consider this we go through through the process of what is wrong with the situation instead of asking what is right.

What if it is part of the Divine plan that we only get what we want, in the way that we want it, is when it is ripe? Or what if sometimes we get what we need when we need it and not always what we want when we want it?

Suppose we get that job that we want when we want it and find that when we get there, we are not as prepared as we needed to be. Usually when this happens we go right into the "I'm not good enough" stuff instead of looking at how maybe we were so busy trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Maybe had we waited until the Universe said it was time we would find that we were ready to take on the task with out hesitation. And feel good about ourselves when we got there.

It is not that I have not considered these things before, but I saw it from another perspective.

I saw it through the perspective of my innocent and pure 6 year old.

I saw it as the way Spirit, God, the Universe, what-ever-you-want-to-call-It, says that it loves us so much, that it really does not want us to hurt. We will always hurt from time to time but when we relax into Spirit's arms we then grab the lessons with less pain.

May we allow Spirit to continuously whisper in our ear through our life experiences, "I love you THIS much". And so it is.
