"Becoming like a Child"

Genesis 28:16 “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!”  As I was sitting at the doctor's office today, I was reading a book called, "Five Star Families. Moving Yours from Good to Great!"  (A book I highly recommend to anyone with children especially young children or children on the way.) As I was reading I came across the verse Genesis 28:16.  After reading that verse, I couldn't help but pause and just look around and wonder.  How is God in this place?  I first glanced at the computer and thought, "Wow! What an amazing machine! It can do so much and to think that when I was little, computers were so much less and really just becoming popular.  Then my eyes drifted out the window, and I started wondering like a kid.  The chapter I was reading was all about gifts and how gifts remind us of the giver. I started thinking about the verse in Matthew 18:3 "I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven."  "Become like little children" really stuck out to me.  I let me curiosity began as I looked out that window amazed at God's creation and started thinking like a child.  "Why is the sky blue?" "How does a car really work?" "How could someone think of the idea to make a vehicle?"  "Why are there so many different colors in the world?"  "Why do people get sick?"  etc.  So many thoughts started coming through my head as I sat in that small doctor's office room.  I couldn't help but praise our giver...our Lord! All we have come from Him above!  I began thanking Him for my week, for my day, for Jason's job offer, for my raise, for Jason, for Eli, for a loving family and in-laws...so much He has given me, and yet I don't deserve any of it.  How can someone not see His glory! We are spoiled children of God! He treats us way better than even our earthly fathers do.  The rest of this summer, I hope to become a little more like a child...maybe play hide-and-seek or throw the ball with Eli, enjoy another mud/water fight with the girls, laugh, giggle, and enjoy time with the children in my life...be all that I can be for them...be the role model God has called me to be, but to have fun and take the time to 'become like a little child' as I watch and hangout with the children/teens God has given me the opportunity to spend time with this summer. I hope to also wonder about questions that Eli is constantly asking "Why?' about and to learn from him.
