Last night my smiling wife Christe posted this on Facebook:

So, Josiah tells me yesterday that I'm his girlfriend. (♥ so sweet!) Today he told me he wants to marry me when he grows up. (my ♥ is melting!) Does this kid really HAVE to grow up???

...our sweet son... I suppose fairly typical of a 3 year old boy who loves his mommy? I dunno. But our son is a tender-hearted little guy, that's for sure.

Made me think...

What a dreadful shame that we have reduced our God, who tells us over and over He wants to be our heavenly, loving bridegroom (Hosea 2:19-20, Isaiah 62:5, John 3:29, Eph. 5:25), yet we have sadly lessened Him to a strict rule-giver. Worth thinking about.
