I was having a long day with my kids and was asking Ruby and Hazel something for the fifth time in a row when I had the thought that Jesus says we are to become as a little child in the New Testament. And I spend my whole day with children, so what can I learn from them to help me be more like Jesus?

Levi wants to be held and snuggled ALL day. Do I have an unshakable desire to be close to my Father in Heaven?

Hazel, small and so determined to balance and climb on top of the bathroom counter to get herself a drink of water from the sink. Am I this determined to follow through when I feel I should help or do something for someone else?

Ruby at night just wants me to lay in her bed so she can tell me her made up stories for hours if I would let her. Am I eager to share the details of my day in prayer? Or write down the fun, hard, awesome stories of being a mom of three kids three and under?

Do I easily find joy in the little things? Do I love with no reservations? Do I have that kind of trust? Am I content? If I take a minute, I can learn so much from my babies even on long days.
