Question

My nephew's 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot，July weekend. I persuaded him to 　 inside and joined him in a game. After 　 for an hour I suggested that we relax for a while. I fell into my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few enjoyable moments of peace and quiet.

    "Look，Alice，”he said 　 as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting"I found a kite. Could we go outside and 　 it?"

    Glancing out a nearby window I noticed it was 　 outside.“I'm sorry Tripper .” I said sad to see his 　 eyes. "The wind is not blowing today. The kite won't fly.”

    The 　 10-year-old replied “I think it's windy enough. I can get it to fly ”he answered as he ran out to the back door 　 Up and down in the yard he ran pulling the kite 　 to a small length of string. He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten year-old legs would carry him looking back 　 at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination he came back in.

    I asked "How did it go?"

    "Fine，”he said not wanting to admit 　 ．“I got it to fly some”

    As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf I heard him say under his breath "I guess I'll have to wait for the 　 ．”

    At that moment I heard another Voice speak to my 　 . "Alice sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the Wind.，，

    And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 　 what we want to do. We wait for the Wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（耗尽） our own 　  ．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!
