The Dollmaker In a little village, there lived a craftsman by the name of Ébun, who made wooden dolls for . Ébun was so naturally gifted in his handwork that his fame spread to all the neighboring villages. People from all over the region came to buy wooden dolls from him or bring their broken dolls for repairs. He carefully studied the broken dolls and looked for the best way to mend it so that it looked exactly the way it was when he first made it. Ébun had a little for whom he made a very beautiful doll on her tenth birthday. The little girl was so much in love with her little doll that she always played with it along with her friends. One day while playing with the doll, the wooden doll got broken and the little girl cried and ran to her father with the broken doll. When she got to him, she complained that her doll's arm got broken while she was playing with it. The father took time to listen to her complaints and then told her to leave the doll with him and come back for it later. The little girl said, "No daddy, you don't understand. All I want you to do is carve out another arm and polish it, and then use some glue or a nail to join it back. That's all!" The father still tried to explain to her to leave the doll with him and come back for it later, because he made the doll and he knows how best to mend it when it is broken. The little grew impatient and said to her father, "Daddy, you are not doing it the way I want. You are too slow." With that statement, the little girl grabbed the doll and left her father's workshop. The father called after her, but she wouldn't come back, and he felt so sad. Like that little girl, most of us take our problems to God and we try to dictate how He should solve them for us. We often fail to realize that God made us and He understands how best to handle all our daily problems, if we would just leave them at His feet. May the Lord bless you and keep you |

This is very true. It's sad when we take our problems back from God. I think sometimes that's why we have to wait for an answer to our prayers when the answer is so close to us. Then we figure out that the reason the prayer didn't get answered in the first place is because we held on it. Sometimes it's so hard for us to know that we can let go and let God. I don't know why we insist upon trying to keep control when we know full well that God can fix things better than we can. Karen
