How many times do you feel like we overdo the little holidays. The card companies love the little holidays like: Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, Arbor Day, ... well maybe not Arbor Day. Father's Day is awesome. I am a dad and that is what makes it all that much better. Sure i love my dad and calling him and sending him a card is great, but having my two kids spilling the beans and telling me what they got for me, a week before Father's Day is awesome. I mean they get so excited that they actually picked out my card, a Dora the Explorer one (there is a shout out to all my Latino followers) They loved giving me a gift and making me happy. This sounds cocky but don't take it that way... I love for them to think that they can make me happy. I think it is awesome that they get all happy and excited trying when they gave me something. They glowed when they knew i was opening my gift, and that is a feeling i hope i never forget.
Is that what God feels like when i go all out for him? Does it light him up the way my kids do for me? I know that the bible is a love story between a holy and righteous, powerful God and weak, incapable, wavering mankind, like a grown man loving his little children.
Even though my kids technically spent my money on my gift, it was better than anything i could have bought myself. Sort of like when i use all of the abilities God gave me to help His cause.
So i dare you, try to make God smile.
