he LAUNCHES himself at me.
he insists I put my book down and my glasses back on.
he flings his arms around my neck and bangs his head into my shoulder
he turns his head and juts his chin into my collarbone
he bangs his forehead against mine and bestows a bunch of sloppy kisses THEN he stands on my legs and flips himself around and lands with his back to my chest and bangs his head onto my shoulder
he squirms and wiggles for a while until he moves down my body
he flings his head back and bangs my on the chest THEN he digs an elbow into my side and flips over and cuddles like a baby
when he decides that is “silly” he digs a heel into my other side and turns himself sideways into my body
he nestles his head into my shoulder and gazes adoringly at me The we start all over again with the cuddling and head banging of position one….
You still haven’t answered my prayer about the direction of my life
Take care of the family of the man killed in the accident yesterday
Alleviate the plight of the children forced into becoming soldiers
Heal the land from the latest earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane
Stop the snow and the cold and bring back spring
Bless the….do this… remember this And I know that all those things are important for us to pray about, but it made me wonder, how often do we come into God’s presence and simply sit there, basking in the peace and the joy and say to him, “I LOVE YOU A BILLION”. More importantly how often do we remain peacefully, quietly, calmly in his presence until we can hear him say, “I LOVE YOU WITH THE STRENGTH OF ETERNITY”. images courtesy of Google Images
