We are able to observe many relationships throughout our life; today I had an opportunity to observe my son and his daughter. They were singing and moving to the beat as the music sang out while I drove the car.
The expression on my granddaughters face was pure joy and awe as she tried to imitate her Daddy…the laughter and giggles from the back seat made me want to stop the car and get the movie camera out in order to capture a sweet moment.
My son and his daughter have built this wonderful and blossoming relationship that is built on a firm foundation. They spend quality time together swimming, reading, coloring and playing ball. They have established a routine and formed some traditions all in a short span of three years.
While listening and watching them in the car I was flooded with emotions; it was the unadulterated pride that can only come from a parent and grandmother. I had a momentary glance into God’s world. How He must feel when we spend loving and joyful time in His presence.
God patiently waits for us to invite Him to our party…to sing, dance and rejoice in our relationship with Him. As children of God He must swell with love and devotion for His children as we build our foundation planted with His commands and grace.
When we begin our day let’s praise His name; when we drive to work or eat lunch let’s rejoice in our blessings; when we arrive home safely after a busy day let’s bow our heads with gratitude and faith.
Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another…
As we make memories with our children and grandchildren let’s celebrate the blessings God has bestowed on us.
Smiles & Blessings,
Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
