Mud soup in the red bucket on the back porch. Play pots and
pans on the grass. Chalk and pretend food all over the playhouse floor.
Evidence.
While I was away, some precious children were here. Having
fun. Playing as if – because – they hadn’t a concern in the world.
Oh, to be a child!
And yet, I was away at Cherish Conference, realigning my
perspective, reconnecting with God on a newer, deeper level, and standing
shoulder to shoulder with sisters from around the globe, sisters with many
languages and colours and experiences and ages, all loving God, all worshiping
together. We may not see things eye to eye – politics, child-rearing, whatever –
but we experienced that deep family love which sees beyond the transitory to
the eternal.
Just like those precious children who played here, I feel
like I was away playing in God’s garden. I am so grateful.
