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!
