So the other day I fed my son before I put him to bed. When I finished feeding him he abruptly let out one of his burps that would make any frat guy proud, and then he fell asleep. Now, I would never have known before my son was born how wonderful it is to have your child sleeping on your shoulder. What makes it even better is that my son does not like to cuddle. He's too busy trying to explore the world around him. I guess he's just naturally inquisitive like his father. But those few minutes that he slept on my shoulder were absolutely wonderful. I can't tell you how much I just love to be with my son, even when were not doing anything.
That got me thinking how much God loves to be with us. We don't even have to be doing anything, simply being in his presence. God's love for you and me is far greater than my love for my son will ever be. Yet how many times do I put off time with God because I have too many other important things to do. I hope I would make it a priority to spend some time with God and not make Him long for those times as I long for those times with my son.
