It is the weekend.  For many this is the time of rest, relaxation, fun, and family.  Of course if there is a honey do list…..that is a different devotion.  Everyone is working for the weekend the old song goes.  Everyone does work for those days off when one can rest and have fun.

 

Ever wonder when did Jesus have fun?  I always wondered when did HE have fun?

 

One of the times, I would say was when HE was with the children.  Just take a moment, when you are with your children or grandchildren there is times of fun, laughter, games, energy.  There is a peace also.  A feeling of being complete.  Jesus is recorded at least three times being around children.  One time HE told his disciples to let the children come to HIM.  Little kids are full of laughter, life and joy.  I am sure that HE enjoyed every moment of just being with the innocents. 

 

Beloved we are all children in God’s sight.  HE loves to be with us and us in HIM.  Life is real with HIM. 

 

The challenge for this weekend, sit with the LORD.  Laugh with HIM.  Listen to HIM.   Let HIM give you strength, peace.  Let your guard down and be a child for a short time in the presences of the one who made you.  See what happens.
