God as Dad

This morning, I asked Joshua, “Do you want to come sit with Dad?” He came over to my chair and climbed up in my lap. I reclined my chair.  He laid back on my chest and we watched dogs on TV together. He really likes dogs. I really enjoyed just laying together, him on my chest, hugging my sweet little boy. It filled my tank. 

Right after that I spent my quiet time with the Lord. As I was praying I had the thought and asked God this question, “God, do you feel like that when I do this?” I wonder, when I lay back and spend time with God, if He feels like I felt when Joshua was laying on me. I bet He does, from the way the scriptures talk about His great love for us.

How about climbing up in the lap of the Lord today.
