iPod Touch
This year my children, as did millions of others, got iPod Touches for Christmas. And, since I frequently travel for work my eight-year-old daughter is now inundating me with text messages and emails while I am away. I am flattered at her affections especially that she always does this when I am away and we are physically separated. I also value that her attention is so focused on her relationship with me. I try to make it a point to reply to her in some manor. Today as I sat down to type in a response I longed to tell her that even though I was not there with her today that I am always thinking of her, and that I love her deeply. I wanted to tell her that in almost everything I do even when I am not around that I am acting in the best interest of Her, Her Brother and Mother. I wanted to explain to her that even though we are not physically close enough to see each other that spiritually she is always with me and near my heart. I was struck though before I could get down a word with the thought of how similar this must be to the way God feels about us. He hears our prayers like text messages and emails and he hits reply although we may not always see it. And, even though we may not see him today he is here with us and near us spiritually.
Just a thought for all of those traveling businessmen and women.
