BUT WHHHHHYYYYYY????????????

I had a little conversation with one of my main squeezes the other night--you know a little pillow talk. It went like this---

LL---Henry, it's time to go night night.
H--(side note-picture both arms at right angles from the body with palm up and a questioning look on the face and tone in the voice each time) BUT WHY?
LL--It's dark outside and time to sleep.
H--BUT WHY?
LL--It's night time and it gets dark at night time.
H--BUT WHY?
LL--God wants us to rest our bodies, so when he makes it dark it is time to sleep.
H--BUT WHY?
LL--We want to be rested tomorrow so we can play and have a good time.
H--BUT WHY?
LL--Our bodies need sleep just like they need food so we can run and jump and play outside.
H--BUT WHY?
LL-Henry, it's time to go to sleep--close your eyes!
H--BUT WHY?
LL--Henry, I know you want to stay up and talk-but close your eyes and your mouth and lay down!
H--BUT WHY?
LL--HENRY--THIS IS NOT WORKING- YOU NEED TO GO TO SLEEP!
H--BUT WHY?
LL--DO NOT ask why again--GO TO SLEEP!

We had this conversation EVERY night. What is really bad is when I start laughing--which means we have to start it all over again. THE LITTLE STINKER! He is playing me like a cheap fiddle!

I am sitting here thinking this morning how many times lately I have looked at God with the same expression and asked BUT WHY??? I forget that just like Henry's earthly parents know what is best for him---so my Heavenly Father also knows what is best for me---even when I would prefer something else----He knows what I need and sees what is coming---I need to just rest in Him.
