Titus

It continually amazes me the many lessons we can learn from our children.  Recently, God taught Heather and I something about our own lives, and he used our son to do it.

Titus is our four-year-old.  A few weeks ago, his Junior Church teacher taught him in such a way that it stuck.  I need to talk to her… and find out how she did that.  Hmmmmm…

As we headed home from church that day, Heather asked Titus what he learned about.  He told us he learned about the “Spirit of the Fruit.”  And we found out what aspect the next morning.

That next morning, Titus woke up, and came out of his bedroom.  He demanded of Heather, “I want breakfast now!… Oh yeah, patience.”

Wow!  I can learn a lesson from my four-year-old son.  How many adults do I know, including myself, who fail to remind themselves to apply Scriptural principles?  Sometimes God uses inexplicable means to teach or re-teach me what he wants me to know.  I just hope that these principles stick to me as well as they seem to stick to our young children.

Later that day, Titus was being demanding again.  Heather reminded him about patience.  His response?  “I don’t have any of that in my body right now.”
