Will You Miss Me?

"Will you miss me when I'm gone?" he asked as we headed off to school. Before I could even muster an answer - he added "You know - when I grow up and leave home...I'm going to China." I tried to assure him I'd somehow be in touch every day.  Maybe we can facetime or Skype I thought to myself.

Someone once said that, to a child, Love is time. The time we get to spend with our children is their measure or sense of how much we love them. It doesn't have to be at Disney World - sitting next to a favorite fishing hole will do just fine.  Or simply the few hours each evening enjoying a healthy meal and some reading time together. As long as they feel our attention and focus, they feel our Love!

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4 - 7
