Most days when I drop my son off at preschool he drops his coat in his cubby and jets for the blocks or cars without so much as a goodbye while I follow in hot pursuit chasing down a hug. But for the last few days he has been very clingy. He attaches himself to my leg and won't let go. He looks up at me with those big eyes and asks me to stay for just a few minutes more or to let him go with me.
I so wish I was like that with my Heavenly Father. Most of the time when I am spending time with Him I'm watching the clock. I wonder if the Pastor is paying attention to the time. I hurry to read the passage and run through my standard prayer requests so I can check it off my to do list and get on with my day.
What if I was like my son begging God for just a few more minutes with Him? Pleading for just a little more time to spend together before I have to get on with my day.
I pray that God makes me more like my son.
