A couple years ago, Davis was just learning how to walk. We'd often play in our backyard, Davis toddling around and looking at flowers, sticks, and all the weeds that passed for grass in our family's lexicon.
Coming back inside was always a challenge for Davis. The screen door opened out, but he always wanted to keep stepping forward. He didn't understand that sometimes in order to move forward, you have got to take a step back.
The Lord has often used that image to remind me of that exact same lesson...only I'm a much slower learner than Davis is.
