Jesus said “…unless you change and become like little children you will never enter into the Kingdom of Heaven”(NIV). The other day had gone to the back room of our apartment to take some time to read. I was pondering on the devotional I had just finished about taking opportunities that God gives us and not missing out on the good things in life. The author of the devotional wrote of opportunity knocking at our door and we must be alert enough to notice and wise enough take the opportunity. Just as I was asking Jesus to help me be aware of opportunities knocking, my 18 month old daughter knocked on the door gently and said “Daddy?” in her innocent, inquisitive voice. In that first moment I almost said “not know Adelyn” but then it hit me. Opportunity was knocking! I had just finished a 5 day stretch of 11 to 15 hour days. It seemed I had not been home except to sleep and I had not spent more than 5 consecutive minutes with my daughter. I quickly got up and seized the next few hours as playtime with her. I have learned a lot from Adelyn, like how she always wants to be with me. It is like what Jesus said…”become like little children”, I want to be more like Adelyn and simply want to be with my heavenly Father.
