I didn’t know this picture was being taken when it was. What a sweet moment. A beautiful reminder.
Went on a mid-morning walk yesterday.
On Monday, during our family devotional time we talked about paths. From Proverbs 4:14-19 , 22:6.
Danny and I asked questions like “what are the two ‘paths’ of life that we can choose? What are they like?”
While I was referencing Matthew 7:13-14 ; about the small gate and narrow path, that only few would actually find. And how the Bible says that more would walk the wider / broad / easier path (the enemy’s path, I called it)...
De’Angelo had a question.
“What happens if you get lost and you go on the enemy’s path?”
A question that, from a 5 year old at 9am I certainly wasn’t expecting. Danny and I answering him back between us.
We told him that “God is always ready to lead us in the path of righteousness just like our Bible verses we are memorizing tells is (psalm 23) and if someone gets lost. They can always ask for forgiveness and ask the Lord to lead them back in the right path.”
He had a long “oooooh.”
And the sweet thinking face he puts on.
Danny making eye contact with me, “that was a good question. ?”
So when I found this picture was taken and saw the path we were walking on together it was almost like a wink from God. I had immediately remembered the devotion from the day before.
I am not quite sure why, but I felt pressed to share. Maybe you feel lost. Maybe you didn’t even know there were two paths to begin with. I don’t know where you are walking right now in the moment.
But God does. And it matters to Him where you are walking. Because YOU matter to Him.
P.S.
During this picture De’Angelo had been sharing with me how big he thought the trees were. That I (Desirée) was big but he said the trees were even bigger. Why? And I said, “well, because God wanted them to be that big baby.”
And just like that,
Teaching moments happen. About God. About the Bible. Teaching me. Teaching him.
