Concentrated Love

Today was a wonderful day. It was a day totally for and with my son. I had been putting it off for quite some time. I think there was a fear of the barrier of sexes. How do I play with boys? I can totally play barbies but cars?...Well, today was the day I held to my time for him. First we went to his soccer game which was very awesome. It was so cute, cause he'd always look over to see if I was watching him. The look on his face was priceless. Next we went on an outreach with our church. It was so great to see him knocking on doors and helping with the bags of groceries and clothes. He made the comment, "mom, if I see someone who doesnt know Jesus, I will tell them about him." Talk about warm your heart. He got it, he got the morning and what we were there for. Afterwords, I treated him to mcdonalds and then finished watching a movie with him at home. However, I have to say the greatest part of our day together was the thing I feared the most, playing with him. Actually giving him my undivided attention and playing cars, duck-duck-goose, hide and seek, and racing around the back yard playing tag. It occured to me today, that he needs me NOW, not tommorrow, not later, NOW. I am getting teary eyed right now thinking about his smiling face and all the love he poured out on me today and all the love I poured out on him. We spiritually and emotionally connected and it was great! Kinda like the Lord wants to do with us. I think some of us may have that fear of, what do I talk to him about? He's God and I'm a human. When he doesnt even see us that way, he sees us as family his children and he just wants to have relationship with us. Play with us. I mean like sit and talk and laugh and praise him. I praised my son all day and he LOVED it, he praised me all day and I LOVED it. We laughed and we talked. God wants so badly to have a relationship with us, just like our children want. Its those times that you are sharing when you can feel the concentrated love for one another. And let me tell you....it is pretty amazing.
