I am right now trying to type this out on my phone while my son awkwardly holds down my arm. Why? because it is Saturday nap time and he loves nothing more than snuggling with his Daddy.
Parenting is always a good teacher. Working closely with children in general is a good teacher, so long as we are paying attention.
And right now I am reminded of the simple truth that we are Children of God by adoption in Christ, that we can beg and plead with God on the simple terms of a child.
And I consider that a reminder that my heart still needs to be refreshed and cleansed. Too much time in the world, and little cares, little burdens, and big problems and crushing loads will crowd a childlike dependence out of my heart.
Not that I become a pagan over night. But that child like faith can afford few distractions.
I would rather be with my daddy than anything this world affords today. That is the cry of the two year old heart, the three year old mind and the simple child of God.
