On a normal day, the baby will wake me up
between 4:30 and 5:30 am. Kira does the
night feedings, so I wake up early to change his diaper, do some chores around
the house, and then I’ll pack him in his stroller for a run. When I get home, Kira and I are in a rush to
eat breakfast, get ready for work, and get the baby set for day care. Although we have so much to be thankful for, it’s
easy for life to turn into one big rat race. We just rush from one thing to another.
At the end of the day, I usually head
over to Hill and Dale to pick the kid up from day care. Some days are exhausting, but nothing can
beat the feeling I have when the baby’s eyes light up to see me. He gurgles, smiles, squirms, and just
recently, he started snorting for joy when I show up. (As a father, nothing
makes me prouder than a snorting child!) There may be so many things in life
that I ignore or rush through, but I am so grateful to have these moments.
This week’s scripture passage says:
Jesus took a little child and put it
among the disciples; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever
welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me’”
Today, I
hope you all can find the joy of God’s Kingdom by welcoming others, or by being
welcomed yourself. Life is a
blessing. I hope we can open our eyes
and appreciate the gifts of the Kingdom.
Blessings!
