Time alone with Daddy is a hot commodity around here. Everyone wants it! Big time! He is a walking fun house apparently. I love it when my man comes home from work and the kids all flock to the door led by the littlest singing "Dad Dad Daddy!!!" at the top of his lungs all while doing a spin and a dance. Our girl is beyond thrilled to have Daddy all to herself on Friday night for their big date night. She has a new dress, shoes and will get her hair done...all for Daddy.
I lay in bed last night with a grin on my face thinking of how much our kids love their Daddy. He is their hero, protector, provider and the love he gives...oh it melts my heart. I wouldn't want my kids to think any different of their Dad. He is their Father.
I then paused in my thoughts with a new thought. Do I get that excited about my heavenly father? Do I feel like dancing when I know I get to spend time with Him? Do I sing to Him? Do I prepare myself for special one on one time?
No. I don't.
I know God wants me to come before Him with an attitude of praise ready to give Him glory. So often I come before Him grumpy with a list of complaints or requests for Him to fix. So wrong. God already knows my needs. Should I ask His help and wisdom? For sure! Just with a heart of praise and glory for my Father.
Oh Lord help me to remember YOU are more exciting than any earthly person. As I watch my children dance and jump because their daddy is spending time with them, let me approach my Heavenly Father with the excitement over who He is and what He is!
