Meet Will.





















Will likes macaroni and cheese in the shape of cars.
Will likes to clap.
Will only knows the word 'yes' and 'yeah', which I think means he is a  fairly positive person.
Will only plays with a toy for 20 seconds.

Will picks a toy out of the bucket, swings it around and then tosses it across the room.  Then Will picks another toy out of the toy bucket, swings it around and tosses it across the room.  This continues, until all the toys have been removed from the toy bucket.  Then he moves on to the next toy bucket or is ready for a nap.   When he gets up, the "playing" starts right back with the toys that had been cleaned up during his nap.

I think this is purely human nature.  The constant seeking out a new toy, a new prize, a new idea to pursue our happiness.  Often the things of this world do not measure up and we toss, moving on to the next thing.  Once we have tired all things in a certain area, we then move on to the next area, sometimes even back to an old area, but again this doesn't satisfy us.

Watching Will I saw myself at times, trying to fill the void with things other than God.  Instead of turning to Him right away, I turn to x.y, and z, each time realizing that the FIRST thing I should have fallen before was God.

I don't deserve His grace, even if I came to Him first, however after trying everything else He is there waiting for me, fulfilling me and yearning for me to come to Him time and time again.

Now if only Will would learn this lesson, the amount of toys I have to clean up would be a lot less.
