Closer To God


"Mom, I think we're sitting by God!" That was our 4 year old son Braeden's observation a couple of weeks ago at the Royals v. Yankees game. One of the good things about not having a winning baseball team is that it's rarely sold out. In fact, it is our family policy not to sit in the upper deck :) . Anyway.... due to ticket procrastination, we found ourselves so high in the stadium Braeden thought we must be close to God. Hilarious! It got me thinking about what it takes to get close to God. Braeden's thinking is an illustration of the Old Covenant. Before Jesus' sacrifice, the priests had to physically position themselves in the Holy of Holies. I'm thankful for God's gift to us, the Holy Spirit, that leads and guides us in positioning our spirits closer to God.

Aw how cute is that, the things kids say can get us thinking. God uses kids more than people realize.
Kids are such blessings. I really enjoy being around and spending time with kids.
God is so amazing!!!
