It had been a busy day (there are many of those lately!) Dinner was done, dishes were finished, we were starting to end our day. Before I began putting my little ones to bed, I sat down for a little break on the love seat. After a deep breath, I felt a little guys presence next to me, "Momma, can you make a spot for me?" I looked at this growing up 3 year old, chocolate milk in one hand, tattered white blanket in the other. How could I refuse?
I scooted over and enjoyed some moments simply enjoying my baby boy's presence. I smelled his hair. Rubbed his still-baby-soft arm. I sat there in awe of the joy to be his Momma. I just enjoyed "making a spot" for him.
And then I felt the Holy Spirit ask, "What about me? Have you made a spot for me lately?" Have I? Have I tried lately to count the innumerable attributes of the one who loves me more than anyone else? Have I just enjoyed His presence? Have I just sat there in awe of being a child of God? Have I made a spot for Him lately?
Psalm 119:161 "My heart standeth in awe"
I think when you are taking care of your little ones and making a spot for them on the couch that you are doing it unto the least of these. The Lord knows and understands!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I was exactly where I needed to be making a "spot" for my baby! I just want to make sure I have that same awe with the Lord and enjoying His presence!
DeleteAmen to your post and the comment above. xx
