Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!

On the rare mornings when I awake before Speedy, I find myself eagerly waiting for him to wake up. I can't wait to pick him up out of his crib and hold him in my arms - he's always so sweet and cuddly in the morning or after nap. At a time when I could be getting some things done, I end up going into his room several times to watch him sleep. To see if he's starting to stir and maybe getting ready to wake up so I can hold him and feed him breakfast and play with him.
Today, when I was waiting for him to wake up from his nap, I got to wondering if that's how God looks at us. Does He look down and wait for us to "wake up" so He can love on us and "feed" us? I'm sure He does. I know He is even more eager for the times we come to Him - to read His word, to sing praises, to spiritually "cuddle" with our Father. And when we are too tired or too busy for God, I know He does the same thing I do for Speedy when I walk into his room and cover him up with his blanket to make sure he's warm through the night.
Having children sure makes me have a greater appreciation for God's love for us. We are His children, afterall.
