The love of a child

Last night we were waiting to pick Gregory up from his Uncle Tim and Audrey was sitting in the back of the van. She was almost in tears and said, "Mommy I am sad!" It almost made me cry. I asked her why she was sad. She replied with, "I miss Gregory!" as she fought back tears. I assured her we were there to wait for Gregory. After I assured her a big grin spread across her face. I thought it was so sweet to see her miss her own brother with whom she fights with all the time. It reminds me of our relationship with Christ at times. We may not obey the Lord as we should all the time but even still he will miss our fellowship with him. No matter where we are he wants our constant communing with him even though we may let him down. He is always ready to accept us back into his arms with forgiveness. Through it all he loves us and shows his grace and mercy. It is wonderful to know we can rest in him.
