So, tonight was like any other night in the Liebe house. As we progressed towards bedtime Amber began to feed Grayson, and Brody and I got a bowl of Kix and headed to “mom and dad’s room.” This is, by far, my favorite part of every day! I feed him bites of cereal between tickling, snuggling, stories of the day, and laying on our backs while patiently waiting for the smoke detector to blink (he noticed it one night and ever since has thought it was the coolest thing in our house).
While laying on the bed with him snuggled under my arm and pointing at the ceiling saying, “Watch!” I realized two things about my nightly routine… 1) This NEVER gets old. And 2) Although it seems to be the same motions every night, it’s never the same!
In the middle of this whole event I had a God moment. I’m sure this is exactly how God feels about us. Some times we allow the thought into our head that our “routine” with God gets boring, or we have to do more to impress Him, when in all reality all He is looking for is time to connect! Throughout the Gospels we see over and over again that part of Jesus’ routine was pulling away from everything else to pray and connect with God. If we call ourselves Christians and claim to be Christ-followers, shouldn’t we be doing the same? Let’s be honest, even as we begin to do this in our daily routine, I promise it will never get old and it’ll become your favorite part of your day! Just like Brody does with me, God will always keep it interesting!
