“O’s and milk please” February 26, 2008

 

Every morning when Jude wakes up I ask him what he would like for breakfast.

The options are usually, O’s and milk and honey, waffles or oatmeal.

The O’s in our house are basically Cheerios except the organic healthier version that is wheat free from Central Market.

Every morning I get a good dose of happiness.

Jude usually requests “O’s and milk and honey with a bowl and a spoon”.

Is this not hilarious.    As if I would forget to give him the bowl and spoon and just pour it all into his hands.

I can’t get over it.  Every day when he asks me for his list of things for breakfast I laugh.

Then I go and tell Robin how funny it is.

This morning was a little different tho. 

I started reciting it to Robin and he looked at me and said “you tell me this every morning and you know what, I think it is funny that you tell me that every morning.”

I just enjoy so much that my child is so sweet and innocent that he thinks he needs to ask me for a bowl and a spoon.

God is that way with us so much of the time.

We think we have to ask for everything that goes along with our desires, when he already has it prepared for us.  

He is probably laughing to himself.

His word tells us that..

Matthew 7: 9 -10

9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for^(L) bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then,^(M) who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will^(N) your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
