GRAMMY NOTES: I got a glimpse into why God sometimes seems so distant when I had to stand back and watch my kids deal with challenges. I got into quite an argument with childless female relatives once, when I told them to stop helping my cocky toddler down the two carpeted steps into the carpeted den.

They were holding her hand and helping her walk down frontwards on her feet and I could see on her face that she had no idea how much she needed that help.

I pointed to the two carpeted steps and responded, “I would rather she tumble down those and realize she isn’t ready than [pointing to the long stairs to the 2nd floor and the concrete steps to the front walk] slip away from us and try walking down those on her feet.” She turned white and all the ladies stopped helping.
