Treasure

Tonight is Caedmon's first overnight trip to the grandparents.  I'm certain it has been easier for him than me.  I miss him like crazy and hate that I can't go check on him before I go to bed!  We've never been apart overnight! I've looked forward to this, and will certainly enjoy it more each time he stays out, but it's still hard the first time! 

It's amazing how much joy a little chunk of love can bring to your life.  One of my most favorite things is to watch Caedmon in church.  I love when the music starts playing and he raises his hands in worship.  I love when he dances for joy at the feet of his Father.  I love when he gets the most precious grin on his face as he says "Yahweh"*.  He truly is my treasure on this earth. 

 Some may think that they can't understand things and that they are just mimicking us in church.  While in part they are mimicking us, I think they are way more aware than most think.  Jesus said "...unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."  Children have no inhibitions, they don't worry what others think.  They can dance for joy and lift their chunky little arms up and not care what anyone thinks.  If only all of us were more like him.  I remember when I was scared to raise my hands in worship.  I was overcome with admiration for my Father and wanted nothing more than to raise my hands up to Him, yet I was too worried that others would see me.  I pray that Caedmon never feels that.  That he will always feel freedom to dance at the feet of the King.  

*We almost exclusively use Yahweh, instead of God, at our church.  It is His name in Hebrew.  If you have any questions about that, message me.  I may use God or Yahweh in any of my posts, so I wanted to touch on that!
