Become Like A Little Child

Early this morning I had to go into work to take care of something that I failed to do upon closing last night. In a hurried frenzy, I bundled Chaz up in his car seat and hurried off to work to take care of the task.
As expected (and anticipated), things went well and before I knew it, I was buckling Chaz back up in his car seat. As I strapped him in, he comfortably adjusted around, grabbed his blanket, and closed his eyes settled in for the car ride home. As I looked at him, I sensed the trust that he has in me. He was completely comfortable, and knows in perfect faith that I will take care of him.
I thought back to when I was a child, and remembered how nice it was to know that my parents would do everything to take care of me and ensure my comfort.
For a brief second, I became somewhat envious of my past, as I realized what a task I now have to be the one to have to ensure that all of these comfort measures are in place for my own little ones.
Then I realized........As I become like a little child and perfect my faith, my Heavenly Father can fulfill every role that we fulfill for our children, only he can do it in perfection and with an eternal knowledge of our individual needs. I simply need to ask, and then proceed forward in faith, and this miracle can be a gift to me here in mortality.
How thankful I am for the comfort and peace we can receive in becoming like little children.
