By now you've certainly seen gobs of photos of my children. Honestly, showing pix of my kids is the original reason "I drank the Kool-Aid" and joined Facebook about 4 years ago! To my point... I always prayed that my kids would not only LOVE each other but that they would also LIKE each other. You know... that they would enjoy being together, that they would get along well.

Well, in spite of tons of differences that a 10 year old girl and a 3 year old boy have, those two really adore each other and for the most part are inseparable! We just road tripped to Louisville from St. Louis (5 ½ hours), and they got along great managing life in the backseat together!

This makes me think of a profound truth that I'm afraid some of us miss. Our God loves us, yes, unconditionally (which is amazingly great to start with!), but He also likes us a lot... Scripture says, in fact that the LORD "delights" in us (Zeph. 3:17)! Hard for me to fathom that the creator of the universe enjoys being with me. My daughter Abby helps me understand this better when I see how she seems to never tire of laughing with her toddler brother as he punches her in the ribs and runs off.
