I am SO thankful for this morning that Brilee didn't tumble down our stairs after crawling all the way to the top of our VERY steep steps all by herself after I forgot to put the gate up at the bottom of the stairway this morning. This is the 2nd time she has done this and I praise God she didn't turn around and lose her balance some where along the way. These are the times when God shows us that we can never fully protect our children because even though we have the best intentions, we still have human error/faults that leave us still inadequate to protect our most beloved little children 100%. We need to trust God 100%--that He will protect them through what we are lacking on our own.
Of course I rushed to the top of the steps as soon as I couldn't hear Brilee right under my feet anymore this morning. One minute she's trying to crawl into the dishwasher as I'm loading it and the next minute when I couldn't hear her--I knew the one place she would be! This girl tries and tries to figure out a way up these steps even WITH the gate up!
Just to show you how steep they are...
Praise God for His protection! I need to put a big red sign at the bottom to remind me to put that gate up as soon as we come downstairs. I normally do this, but in those moments of forgetfulness....aye, aye, aye...
