Playing in the Sand

Yesterday was an interesting day. Logan was not in Kindergarden because the class is separated into two groups by their last name, and attend their first day of school on separate days. Logan's was Wednesday. So Logan and I had Thursday all to ourselves. We went to the park and played together on the swings and on the play sets. I taught him how to pump his legs so he can swing without any help, but that was not fast enough for him. So, I got behind him and gave a few pushes and one slightly dangerous for my head, underdog. After a few jumps off the swing we ran over to the play grounds. I introduced them to a game that I have played with many kids throughout my babysitting days. The ground is no longer land but water infested with sharks. Sometimes they might get really close or they might hang outside the rim of shark repellent if you are lucky enough to play on a play ground equipped with some. I died once because I "accidentally" fell down the slide when we were hiding from the sharks. Thankfully, Logan said I could come back to life again if I could climb up the slide.
Logan then decided to play in the rather large sand box. He began to cover his foot with sand. We lost his foot for a little while but eventually we found it again to walk back home. While he had lost his foot we had a little talk about God. I said,"We know your foot is there, even if we cannot see it. Well, God is always here, even though we cannot see him."
I do not know if it is a fantastic example of God, but I think a 5 year-old's mind can understand what I mean. I kept thinking about that example even more.
Even when we try to cover God up with anything he is still there. Things like relationships, work, general business, etc. God is always there. Sometimes it is hard to remember because we allow ourselves to become overwhelmed by the stresses of this world. But, basic truths such as this one helps us take comfort in our Maker and relax.
Even though we cannot see him, he is always there, apart of us. Praise God the Almighty. How great is our Father's love for us.
