I was driving on a beautiful fall morning with my kids yesterday, in the car and had an awesome chance to hear them discuss on the sunlight. The sun was out and it was quite bright. My 2 yr old daughter was saying that the sun was “God’s Flash light” and it is very bright. My 5 yr old son explained to my daughter that the flash light is bright because god had used lots and lots of batteries for the flash light. My son proceeded to explain to my daughter that God uses the flash light to find everybody in this world.
Then tada, the bulb went on me and I started to think, “What do I need to be doing today” when god finds me with his flash light? What should I be doing every day when god’s flash light hits my face? What a great way for the guy above to remind me what I should be doing or how I should be viewing every day of my life if god’s flash light is hitting me? I am so blessed in life to realize the presence of god in me and when I forget how god takes time to create conversations like these so my kids can remind me the bigger picture.
This experience really cemented the fact that I should be appreciative of every single day whether there is a flash light hitting my face or not! I should take everyday as an opportunity to do what I can to make this earth a better place than what I was born into.
Have a wonderful day!
