The "James Factor"

The other day I had an epiphany while cuddling my restless little grandson. He had recently breast fed, but like most newborns, was continuing to frantically search for something to put in his mouth. As I attempted to sooth his panic at not having anything in his mouth, I said, “Ok little James, you don’t need to have something in your mouth constantly to be happy”. Then came the epiphany—with his little eyes focusing on my face I felt like he was responding “and neither do you Gramma!” (Of course, I , at the time, was stuffing MY face!" Was the universe sending me a message or what! Out of the mouths of babes comes indescribable wisdom. That epiphany continues to fill my soul as I continue my journey to wholeness. Days after sharing this experience with a walking buddy, she too said that it continued to be in her thoughts whenever she reached for something to put into her mouth. She calls it the “James Factor”. Go James!
