Just Relax
Zoey ran to the swing ahead of her Father. Her adrenaline rushed faster than the breeze that was blowing that day. How she had looked forward to this time at the park.
She sat down and began quickly swinging her legs back and forth as she had remembered seeing other kids do. But, her timing and rhythm was off. She could not seem to get herself started.
But, she was determined.
She got her whole body into it as she used her arms to pull way back and way down. Then, she jerked her legs up as high as they could go and thrusted them downward. But, to no avail. She knew it worked. She just couldn't figure out how to make it work for her.
Then, she felt a firm Hand on her back. It was Daddy.
"Just relax, Zoey. I'll do the hard part. You just enjoy the ride."
And, with a gentle push, she was suddenly gliding high into the sky! And, each time she made contact with her Father, she was thrusted higher and more gloriously until she felt like she could poke her fingers into the clouds!
How much easier it was when she stopped her striving and just relaxed in Daddy's hands.
