Seems like yesterday I remember hearing my father say, "Boy time passes quickly. Seems like yesterday that you were just born". When I was a kid or even a teenager, I didn't have a clue as to what he was talking about. Time does pass and soon I had a daughter, then two, then three daughters. I quickly joined Dad with the "seems like yesterday that Bobbi (or Beth or Britt'ny) was born. Of course often Dad would say that it seemed like yesterday that I was as little as one of my daughters.
More time has passed and now my girls are in their 20's. I feel a little like my father when I say that it does not seem possible. Time has passed, they have grown. While they have gotten big, have expanded their horizons -- their are still my little girls. Ok,they are not little, but they are young.
I often wonder how Father God sees us. Psalm 139 makes it pretty clear that He is involved in our lives. This Psalm is pretty detailed in how God took care to create our innermost being. He thinks about us a lot. The sum of God's thoughts of me or of you are more than the grains of sand. That is mind-boggling. I think that sometimes God, the Father says to Jesus, "Hey, look at my son or daughter, did you see that?" I believe that God is our biggest cheerleader.
I have no way to verify it, but I believe that God looks down at us and smiles. I believe He says, "wow! Look how he (or she) has grown."
