Of course, my boys think they are too old for the "play" we used to do--the down and dirty on the floor play. But we find ways to be together that take us into that playful mood. It's such a blessing.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929996656012258029.post-22825147077316056412012-03-06T19:17:55.623-07:002012-03-06T19:17:55.623-07:00yes! this is hard for me too.

Now that he's 10 I'm finding it challenging to spend that time with him doing what I think he wants to do.

And I'm amazed at how often the kids teach me about my playful Savior when I'm willing to step into their world of play. Of course, I'm still waiting for the day that I can play Polly Pockets without hesitation.. that's PURE SACRIFICE on this mommy's part. Who invented little rubber dolls that are SO HARD to dress?

I also have a tough time being present, knowing I need to soak up these precious moments. And I am so grateful for how the Father comes to help me here.
