give and take


Elijah prefers for us to get him water each night. When he asks us to get him water, he prefers for us to let him GIVE us the cup, as opposed to us TAKING the cup from him. Isn't that like most of us. We don't like to have things taken from us, either. Even if we were going to give it in the first place. It's not fun to have it taken. Part of the joy is in the giving. There must be a lesson in that, right?


I'm not even saying that I know what the point is! Heh. Just something I've pondered. Instead of being eager to take... wait until you can be gracious in receiving. And find the joy in giving!
