Become as Little Children

We have a beautiful, darling infant daughter who just melts daddy's heart when she smiles. I'll knock myself out trying to get her to focus on me to see her smile, but she is at the stage where she is fascinated by her toes or a shadow on the wall, so it might take a bit of clowning around to get her to make eye contact. But, as soon as she does, she just beams.

This morning while making my thanksgiving after Mass, I was reflecting on this. God truly is the perfect Father who never tires of trying to make eye contact with us, but we are all too often distracted by, well, pretty much anything.

Stop a second, listen, and you'll here Him cooing to you. Look up and smile.
