God in the daily


This is a developing thought, so please bear with the (normal) sub-par writing and thought progression.
Before reading the rest of this post, you need to go watch two 10-sec videos on Tim's page. 1) Gabe working some drumbeats on a couple pots and pans.
2) Gabe and Tim playing around screaming "Ba-dah!"
I must have watched each of this videos at least 10-15 times and smiled and laughed and felt good. There's something right and chairos (sp?) about what is portrayed. Note the seriousness in Gabe's face while drumming. He's focused, but he does it because he enjoys it and also because he knows Dad loves it. Now look at his face during Ba-Dah. Pretty easy to tell how much he's loving it, right?
I often wonder what we look like to God. It's not really any of my business, but there have to be times like these for Him. Times where we are doing things to glorify him, where he can't help but smile. But I'm really interested in the other times. The times where we sit around and laugh and enjoy life and humor and relationship.
Don't forget to look for it...

I think I'm hearing you say that God enjoys us simply enjoying the gift of life in the world he created. Is that right?
