I need...

 "Mom! Mom!" came the urgent call from the mouth my baby sister. "What is it?" she responded. Essie replied "I need you."
 We live in a time where independance is common, a time when the closest we ever come to calling out for help is to call a tow truck when we're stuck in the ditch, or (some would say more humiliating), we can't figure out what's wrong with our computer and need to bring in the local techie....
 It often surprises me how much more little children understand than we do - its okay to cry when we're sad, to give someone a hug for no particular reason, to say "I love you" without strings, to laugh with such utter abandonment over the silliest things, to delight in the little things we take for granted, to live life in every moment.... and to admit so easily "I need you."

 How often are we willing to admit that? To kill our perceived independance with one simple statement... to admit that we are actually dependant on another human being, to admit that we are dependant on God? To allow ourselves to be humbled to realize that we are not complete, not able to survive without God? without eachother? 

 Are we willing to become as a little child?

1 - That's profound . . . I don't always like being a child. I find I get stepped on, and I don't like that.

But it's better. (Comment this)
