Again and again, God always implores us to slow down, to rest in His peace.
His Spirit constantly taps me on the shoulder and says, "Join me for a little visit," or "Why don't you to put your thoughts down in a blog?"
For a split second, I think,"Yeah, Spirit, that's a great idea!' (How funny is that, me telling God He has a great idea!)
But then I shoo away the great idea with one I just know is better.... like read Sports Illustrated or check on the latest Michael Jackson rumor.
Then last night, I'm reading Kade, my 3-year-old son, the book, "If you give a moose a muffin" (a must read!). I'm tired, need a shower and just want to zoom through this classic.
But Kade wants to jump ahead, go back, jump back ahead, tell me side stories. I'm feeling my weariness and frustration rise up.
In this moment, God speaks to me.
Appreciate this moment.
Slow down.
Love on your son like I want to love on you.
This is pure love, the no rush, just enjoy the moment innocence Kade has.
At this moment, all Kade wants is my time and love.
In this moment, I feel God and His unconditional love.
