Dodge Ball

Amazing! That is how I would describe the lesson learned at church this morning. We saw a video called Dodge Ball. It was about a father who took his son to the mall where there was a huge kiosk filled with toys. The little boy begged and pleaded for one of the toys and gave his father "but I have to have it!". And then the little boy said "but I though you loved me!" The father new that this toy was not safe for the 2 1/2 year old boy so he had to pick up his son and leave the mall. They went across the street to a sporting goods store. There the little boys eyes were filled with a wall of Dodge Balls. The father said that the boy could pick anyone he wanted. The boy choose the orange one. The lesson in this story is that God does not always give us what we ask for. He has the vision to see more than we can. Just like the father could see that the toy was not appropriate for the boy at this time. God still loves us and he knows what it is best for us.
