So, I am starting up the blogging thing again. I have decided that, following the name of this blog site, I am going to post the moments when my heart is warmed by the actions, words or thoughts I see that can only come from God.
Yesterday, we took child one to see a couple of doctors because of a rare and somewhat strange condition he has in one of his eyes. As we were visiting with one of the doctors, he wanted child one to run down the hall, turn around and run back and tackle him. Well, child one is not the rough and tumble type (that would be child two). Instead, he ran (light jog really) down the hall, turned around and ran (again, more of a light jog) back and when he got to where the doctor was, instead of trying to knock him over, as he was instructed, he gave him a great big hug.
For a father who wants to raise his boys to be caring and loving, this truly warmed my heart. I know I am reading way more into this than was actually there, but here my little boy chose love over violence, beautiful.
This reminded me of the stories in the Gospels where Jesus pointed the religious and the seeking alike to the little children and instructed all those gathered to follow the examples of the children. May we all seek to chose the path of love over violence and share some of God's love with all who we meet, even our doctors.
Blessings,
Chris
