I was up early with Jonathan this morning reading him a book when he started pulling stickers off of a paper and sticking them on my forehead. I asked him, "what are you doing?" He patted me and said, "sticker, nice!" It brings me joy to think about how Jonathan was doing what he thought would make me look nice (even though I had four multi color smiley faces on my head). It was his intention to bring beauty to his daddy in the way he knew best. And I loved him for it even as I made sure they were all removed before leaving for work.
I'm pretty sure God the Father takes the same joy in us, as we try, sometimes in crazy ways, to show him to be as "nice" as we possibly can. It's comforting to know that as crazy as people may think we are, God loves us all the more for those crazy moments when we seek to show HIS beauty.
