For the last couple of months I’ve been engaging a practice called centering prayer. I have found this practice to be one of the most life giving disciplines I’ve ever tried in my spiritual journey. (if you’re looking for more information or some background on the practice go to www.centeringprayer.com/)
Anyway, I had a neat experience yesterday morning. I decided to do my 20 minute silent sit with Luke on my lap as he slept. At some point during the prayer Luke moved a little bit and I began to think that he & I lived in parallel experiences.
Right now, Luke can do very little on his own. He relies on Andrea & I to feed him, change him, comfort him, help him fall asleep…etc. It was this incredible feeling of responsibility and at the same time gratefulness for having the opportunity to parent Luke. There was a moment of being in awe at what Andrea & I had a part in creating.
I then connected this to my relationship with God. It was as if I had this picture of me laying on God’s lap the same way that Luke was on my lap…and God marveling at how He had made me and how I needed Him for most everything. It was a beautiful moment that I won’t soon forget.
Now onto some new pics…

You are so right...it is neat to think that God is watching us and marvelling at His creation. You realize, with the amount of love we feel for our own children, how much more He must love us!
That is one handsome little man you have there:) Can't wait to meet him in person.
