I love my duck

Last night Lauren and I were lying in my bed watching a movie. She was so cute; as she was laying there snuggling with her stuffed animal duck that she had gotten earlier this year at the fair. I looked at her, and said, “Lauren, I love you”. She looked right back at me and said, “I love my duck.” I started giggling; of course she loves her duck, LOL.

I got to thinking, isn’t that how we are with God so many times. He looks down upon us from heaven so longingly, and says my child, I love you. And we hear him, but we look at that thing in our hand, that thing that we don’t want to let go of, and we say, I love my ___________. And I hope he laughs at how silly we are, but I also think he might just long for us to let go of our duck, whatever that may be, and reach out for him saying “I love you too!”

  1. Love this! It's so true and some days it's so scarey to let go. Thanks for sharing yourself. It gives me courage to continue doing what I'm doing.
