One Step at a Time

Hudson said to me today, "Mom, let's teach Ruby how to walk."  I reminded Hudson that Ruby is only three months old.  He said that doesn't matter and we should try having her walk.  "Let's just see if she can do it."  He said.  I then went through the steps of infant development and milestones...Hudson first they learn to roll over, then sit up, then crawl, etc etc.  He then understood that no matter how much we practiced "walking" over the next few weeks Ruby would not get the hang of it until she learns the first developmental milestones. 
How applicable this is to life.  Of course!  There is always some sort of analogy.  But if we think of any subject or topic we can't just skip to the hard part or the ending without starting from the basics.  Even with the gospel.  The Lord has to teach us line upon line...very little at a time.
