Kaydence came to stay with us for the weekend last night. It was good to have her back although she was a bit fussy. Admittedly we were very indulgent with her, letting her have too much sweet stuff, keeping her up too late. We will have to get her back on schedule today.
On mornings like this we can question our God. But, it occurs to me that God is often indulgent with us His children. He provided a multicolored world when black and white would have worked. He provides days like today with crystal blue skies and perfect temperatures. He gives us precious children and loving family and friends. Like our children we become spoiled and conclude that we have a right to such indulgence and become upset when “bad” or tragic things, like earthquakes happen.
Although we are the beneficiaries of our Father’s great love and indulgence, we are also subject to His justice and intentions for our lives. We are here for a purpose. He could choose to take us home when we become His children, but we remain with a great commandment and commission.
Father, thank you for the blessed reminders of your love and for the responsibilities which come with it.
Nick
