Lessons in the Hot Chocolate

 "Close your eyes while I make it super special!" 


Jeremiah, one of our 4 year old twins, closed his eyes, smiled, and turned around. 


"Can't stand for no peeking!" I quoted from Little House on the Prarie as I carefully crafted his hot chocolate with his back turned. 


You see, the water is too hot from our water kettle for him to immediately enjoy his morning hot chocolate, but if he SEES me add just a bit of kettle water to the cup and then add in room temperature water from our Berkey, he will be very upset with me. (Ask me how I know ;) )

But if he doesn't know and exercises trust in his mama, he'll receive a cup of just right "hot" chocolate ready for him to enjoy. 


As I stirred his hot chocolate this morning with his back turned, the Lord reminded me that just as I ask my son to trust me in seeing to his needs, our Father in heaven is carefully crafting all the things and I need not be concerned about His process. His plan is what is best for me. 


My job is to trust.
