Over the past few days we have been doing catch up cleaning in the house. I have been really plugging away with my head down and trying to stay focused on the task at hand. This morning while the boys were playing, I was was folding the never ending laundry.

 (oh you know)

While doing this I discovered a new way that God loves me like a child.

When my kids complete a simple task I give to them, I get excited and celebrate with them. I also feel relieved sometimes, thinking they “finally get it”. Sometimes it is just small things like going through a tunnel, going on the potty, or just finally understanding something that I have said over and over for years.

While having these thoughts and emotions with my kids, it hit me that God probably has those same thoughts and emotions when we “finally get it”. He is pleased when we do even the simple tasks like spending time doing devotions, praying and even simply taking the time to say “Thank you”. I have been told my whole life that God is our Father, but for some reason I am just now “finally getting it”.
