My three year old cracks me up! He is becoming so independent and pushes limits all the time. He has recently found out that he does not have to listen to me. He has also learned that he does not like the sting of consequences too much. He is learning and I just love it.
A new development for him is the boundary of time. He often tries to negotiate with me. When I say it is time to leave a park, go to bed, or take a bath, I give him a warning of "five more minutes." He has come to like this phrase because it means he can play for a bit longer, yet he doesn't fully grasp the concept. For example, if I give him a ten minute warning he counters with, "No, momma five minutes" thinking he is negotiating more time. What a hoot!
In Second Peter we read that: "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. "
Our Lord fully comprehends time-- He just doesn't count it like we do. Thank heavens for that! I am grateful for the fact that when God is calling someone to him and they say, "Five more minutes," God often says, "I'll wait ten."
