I just spent some vacation time with my grand babies. Theirfavorite thing to do is to go swimming, so we went swimming!!  I was in the baby pool with my one-yearold grand daughter who had no fear of the water. She would put her face in,blow bubbles under water, and before long, she was so confident that she wouldsimply throw her whole body into the water. She could not swim, but she knewthat her granny was right beside her and so she was safe!

She dove under the water at least 100 time. I was exhaustedof pulling her out and my arms were so sore! However, I could not feel honoredthat she trusted me enough to throw her self so helplessly into what could havebeen a dangerous situation, but was not, since I was there beside her.

I started to think about God and my relationship to God. Ifyou ask me if I trust God, I say I do. But I was humbled by the trust my granddaughterhad in me. I wondered about when the last time was that I threw myself intoanything with no worry because God is beside me. Her trust reminds me that Ineed to trust God like she trusted me.

God promises to be with us, protect us, and never leave usalone. Why then are we so afraid of so many things? May we all learn from thischild! I know I did!
