Everybody deserves a cheezer!
It amazes me how much we can learn from our children. Especially since he is only 5 months old and I’m taking notes from him?! Puzzling isn’t it? Through our recent travels (so far four flights, a few hotels, and several rental cars) we’ve run across quite a few people. There’s just something about traveling with a baby that changes things. Those of you who have flown with a baby will understand. There’s always someone who wants to talk to him or hold him or see if they can get a smile out of him. Austin is very much a people person, so this is not a bad thing at all. Not only that, but the culture in Costa Rica is very friendly towards children, so it’s not uncommon for a complete stranger to walk up to us and want to hold Austin. (He’s a great evangelistic tool!) So we’re used to this.
Anyway the other day I made the mistake of prejudging someone. This person then wanted some interaction with Austin, and Austin was glad to oblige. Austin stood next to this person, and giggled, and gave him the biggest “cheezer”. It was so funny and cute. I’m proud of my little boy. A little while later I thought to myself, “self, you should be more like your little boy because it doesn’t matter who anybody is, they all deserve a cheezer.
I believe there’s a sermon in there somewhere, so if you read this and then hear me preach about it somewhere down the road you’ll know where it came from.
Merry Christmas!
