This has become one of my favorite verses since James was born.  I used to think: I’m the parent, he’s the baby, it’s a no brainer that I know infinitely more than he does, at least in this stage of life.  Right?  In fact, I’m responsible for teaching him basically everything… how to talk, to walk, to feed himself, and later on how to use the potty.

But then I read this verse and now find myself wondering hey James, what do you know that I don’t?

God sure has a sense of humor.  What can my baby teach me? Well for starters, babies are transparent–never hiding their feelings, they’re forgiving–never holding a grudge, they’re dependent–always wanting to be near mom & dad, and they’re loved–not for anything they can do, but just because.
