Oh the messes we create

So today in the fantastic world of motherhood...we had a diaper incident. Chasten had a #2 diaper and I went to change him...lately he's been having issues with the up the back of his diaper kind of mess. So, with his dirty diaper moved, his legs in one hand, reaching for another wipe with my free hand I hear a noise. When I look back to my son, I'm mortified to see that he is continuing his "messy diaper" on his clothes and himself before I caught the last of it in the new diaper. I, of course laughed because you know...messes happen. It made me think though if perhaps God has moments like this when dealing with us. We create messes of our own accord and then rely on him to clean them up. And sometimes, when God has a "wipe" in one hand and is correcting one thing, we create more of a mess of the newly cleaned thing he just finished. Then he has to start over again. However, as our Father, He doesn't seem to mind to help us be clean and happy again until the next mess we make. It never ceases to amaze me that as a parent, I start to understand things about the way God loves us. How blessed we truly are.
