Loving Like God

Throughout my day, I tried to keep my focus on God.  Its hard at work sometimes, when problems are so big they seem unsolvable.  Dealing with the drudgery I have to take some creative measures to keep my perspective...listening to sermon podcasts as background noise, prayers in the bathroom--the only place with remotely any privacy, and a glance at scripture or Oswald Chambers during the day.  Sometimes, I even prayer walk down and up 4 flights of stairs!  So I am very thankful that God gives me a reminder that he is still there, involved, and loving me.  My son decided last night that we needed to have a pajama party tonight.  Then, 10 minutes later, he sadly announced that we had to cancel because he had Tae Kwon Do, and there wouldn't be enough time.  6 years old, and he's feeling the weight of drudgery!  Well, I ate dinner while he was gone, knowing that he had eaten earlier before he left.  By the time he got home, I had picked out a short DVD, made dessert, and was showered and in my jammies.  PAJAMA PARTY!  We hopped in my bed and giggled as we watched Curious George and ate dessert.  He was pretty pleased with our pajama party, and I was very blessed just to have the time with him.  Unlike God, I can't be with him in his "drudgery" all the time.  But I can be like God and give my son reminders that I'm still here, involved, and loving him.
