I want you to meet someone very special to me…her name is Marlee.  I began babysitting her twice a week when she was 2 months old.  She is now 17 months old.  She is the granddaughter of a godly couple in our church.  Marlee has 3 older brothers!!  When she comes to my house she gets a house full of girls except for Rich, of course!  The most beautiful thing to me about Marlee is that she has never resisted my love and care for her.  She receives my love everytime!  Since she was 2 months old, she lets me rock her, cuddle her, feed her, hold her, and kiss her.  She doesn’t try to push me away or cry.  She lets me love on her!  I can’t begin to tell you what a gift she is to me!  She blesses my soul.  I wish I could be more like Marlee when it comes to my relationship with the Lord.  He has so much to give and bless me with.  He has so much He desires to share with me.  What keeps me from His embrace?  Why do I resist Him sometimes?  Why do I doubt that He has my best interest at heart?  I believe the more I spend alone worship times with Him I will understand more of who He is and actually want more of Him!  His door is open and His arms are filled with hugs and kisses!!
