Too Busy

It was a perfect Sunday afternoon for watching football and for once my team was actually being televised. I sat there focused on the t.v. and my son, who is 6, asked me multiple times to help him draw insects. I of course let him know I was too busy, especially to draw insects. I wanted to watch this game and be left alone. My son continued to ask and I finally felt the nudge from God to give in and help him draw an insect. I turned off the t.v. and spent the next 30 minutes drawing some crazy insect from a book he had checked out from the library. When we were finally finished he took his piece of paper and wrote "I LOVE YOU DADDY".

Isn't it great how God uses our kids to let us know we made the right decision. I can watch a football game and get some kind of enjoyment out of it. But nothing compared to what I felt when my son handed me that piece of paper with those words written on it. All it took was 30 minutes of my time and it obviously meant the world to him. If you're a Dad, turn off the t.v. and do something your child wants to do with you. I promise you will not be disappointed.
