Stable



For weeks we've been coming to the beach on music lesson days where Benjamin spends most of the time face planting in the sand. He has been walking for over 6 months now, it's just the beach terrain seems to throw off his jive. It doesn't help that the trek to the water is on an a hill and he just gets going and going until he's eating a mouthful of sand. Today was different. He was completely stable. No faceplants. Just pure exploration at its finest.

A Little Lesson:
The sand for Benjamin is so much like the weaknesses we endure. We spend days, months, and even years trying to find stability and manouvre around them, through them and sometimes face down on top of them. Only after we find our footing and build our strength do we no longer faceplant but rather rise above them and walk in the sunshine. We are even promised that those weaknesses we endure will one day become strengths we enjoy.
