children

I have two lovely little girls. I don't know if you have noticed but the majority of my happiness here on earth is derived from them. As we all know, much of the aggravation in life comes from there too, but I am willing to weigh it out to the good side.
There are a lot of times when I see P.J. heading out of the room, and I can tell her "Don't you go and ......" and she'll reply okay, or yes sir! The same goes with Alexa, she'll go to bed at night and without even opening the door I will walk by in about 15 minutes and tell her to put her book up, because I know she will be reading.(I will discuss this in my other blog further).
That type of attitude is easy as a parent because we know our kids. We know how to read them and we usually know what they are about to go get into. But if we are really honest with ourselves, it is usually an educated guess. We don't know what they are going to do, if we did they wouldn't get into half of the trouble that they do. We don't know what they are doing at all times and if we did, we probably wouldn't like it. That's the cold hard truth.
God knows what is going to happen, what we think, what we are going to think and what we are going to say about what we think. He knows this not just about a select few, but about the entire world. I can figure out Alexa and P.J. and on occasion Tara(I'm being honest) but I can't figure out other people's children, they stay the night and I just look at Tara and say, "What's up with her, why is she acting that way?" and so on. Simply because I don't know them well enough to read them and understand where they are coming from. My kids, they are open book most times.
Psalm 139:4-6 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hadn upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
There it is, GOd knows everyone's children's ideas, thoughts and actions before they happen. Why? Because He is just that intimate with everyone. Think about who you share your actual thoughts with. For some of us that is a short list of about 2 or 3 people. For others, it's a list that contains only ourselves and maybe, just maybe our spouse. Think about how much trust there has to be before you will share your thoughts with someone, that is true 100% intimacy. THat is exactly what we have with God, if we will just acknowledge it and build on it in other areas of our life we will become one iwth God.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
