1st Steps
Friday, March 5th, 2010
One of our friends has a boy named Liam who just took his first steps. It was so fun to watch him think about taking that 1st step. He thought about it for quite a few days. What must have made the decision hard for him is that he can make amazing progress on his knees. He can crawl the 40 in 4.8! So why walk?
But the day finally came that he took the step! His family cheered and his mom and dad are probably talking about buying some new running shoes to keep up with him!
The spiritual life is learning how to walk again. One of our motto’s around our church is “We fall on our feet… we fly on our knees.” In the spiritual realm we make progress when we go in prayer or “on our knees.” I wonder if heaven watches us like we watch our kids learning to walk. I wonder if the conversation runs… “Did you see so & so? She’s about to take her 1st step!”?
I hope you have a great day learning how walk… run… fly! 
Your brother,
Jon
