A Better God?
God and I have this agreement - it was never a formal agreement - it was more like a "knowing". This agreement, this knowing was this: "Robin, if you want to know Me, if want to know my heart towards you and others, watch how you relate to your granddaughter; watch how you feel towards your grand daughter."
And so I do. And here is what I am finding. I love to do what she loves to do. So if she loves to discover how to stack rings on a stick, I love watching her. If she loves wandering in our drive way, then I love to follow her in her wanderings. If she loves to discover that the curb makes a wonderful seat, then I love discovering that with her.
That is a far cry from what I was taught God loved. I was taught that He decided what I was to love and then I would be punished if I disagreed. I think I like this God better.

if this was facebook, i'd click on "like!"
You've "arrived", Robin! When you are grown up enough, or old enough, or comfortable enough with yourself to admit following a grand child around & finding it delightful.. I'm pretty sure God is happy & smiling over you!
And I for one love that in you!
