The secret of joy in the Christian Way is this:
God LOVES us-- yes. Everything God does for us, he does so that we can be his child, but also so that we may be his friend.
Being a child and a friend are not always one and the same thing. We love our families; but we aren't always really friends! It is a defining nonent when a child wakes up to the fact that her parents are more than providers and protectors. It is amazing when conversation begins on what approaches an adult level.
Babies are wonderful!
Junior high . . . hmmmmm ..interesting times!
High school--has its moments.
But happy, happy, happy is the parent whose kids grow up to be his friends.
I revel in the fact that I can call God "Father."
I probably never will get over the gimmees in dealing with the heavenly Father.
But I aspire to be His friend as well....
