One of our little man's favorite things to do lately is ride on the lawn tractor. Now, I don't have the blades engaged and we are moving really slowly. While we are out riding through the open field, I allow him to take the wheel and "drive". More often than not, he will steer us left and I will have to correct. My prayer is that he will learn to steer a vehicle through the experience of steering this lawn tractor.
I also pray that he will allow us to steer him in the right direction as he gets older. I certainly pray daily that he, along with everyone else, will see JESUS through our example and allow Him to direct his path. We try to lay a good foundation because one day he will steer for himself.
Today's word is a quote from Dr. Seuss that says, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."
We all get to steer our own ship, our own life, in whichever direction we choose. Occasionally, we find that we have steered ourselves into a tight spot and need to ask someone to guide us out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. While some are afraid to ask direction, I am always trying to find the most direct route. The point is that we get to steer, we get to choose our direction. Choose wisely.
There are several important parts to the quote: 1. You have brains in your head - USE THEM. 2. You have feet in your shoes - you get to "drive" yourself. And, if you find yourself in a bad spot, you have a means of getting out. 3. You get to choose the direction - CHOOSE WISELY!
You know, I may think the little guy is steering improperly and I am always having to correct. The truth may be, though, that he is steering hard left and practicing to be a NASCAR driver. You never know. I do know that if that is his plan, his first car is going to be something really old - and really slow.
Be Blessed,
