Yesterday was a busy day for Amanda and the Langley family. Caleb and Isaiah had appointments with the allergist in Fayetteville. They are allergic to a ton of stuff. Amanda had to go to the store and by casings for the mattresses and pillows. All of the linens had to be washed in HOT water. The casings had to be put on the beds. The floors had to be vacuumed and mopped. And last but not least, Caleb and Isaiah needed to go to Vacation Bible School.
Amanda had to do all this on her own because I was working 9 to 6.
When I got home around 6:30, the boys were still there. Amanda had given them a choice to go to VBS or spend some time with Daddy.
The boys chose Daddy time over friends, food, fun (even though I am quite the life of the party).
In Luke 6:12 it reads, "One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God."
Jesus' life was pretty chaotic and hectic. Pharisees, healing the sick, raising the dead, bringing the Kingdom of God. A little more complicated than filling prescriptions and mopping floors.
But in all the chaos, He never forgot to choose Daddy time.
He desired it, He needed, He lived for it, He depended on it.
Can we say the same?
Blessings
