I'm just about done reading the book Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado. I would highly recommend it! I love what he wrote about Colorado Aspen and the Church...
"Colorado aspen provide a living picture of the church. Have you noticed how they grow in groups, ofter on the otherwise bald sides of mountains? They are sun seekers and root shares. Unlike firs or pines, which prefer shade, aspens worship warmth. Unlike oaks, whose roots go deep, aspen roots go wide. They intertwine with other roots and share the same nutrients.
"Light lovers. Root shares. Sounds like a healthy church."
What a cool word picture of the church!

 I was driving home from running some errands with my 20-month-old, Jacob. We had had a good time out and one of my favorite worship songs came on, Revelation Song. I turned the radio up and was just singing and driving.
After several minutes, I noticed that Jacob was clapping. I turned around and smiled and then raised my hand and waved it back and forth in worship. I looked back again and Jacob had his hand raised. He was doing what I was modeling!
Tears came to my eyes (driving and crying is not recommended!). Here is my son, doing what I'm doing. Joy filled my heart.
I wonder if tears come to God's eyes when we do what He wants us to do? If I find delight in my child worshiping, how much more delight does God find in us when we worship?
I love it when my Jacob helps me understand my relationship with my God on another level. It is kind of cool to be taught things about God by a 20-month-old!
(I know the picture is not of Jacob worshipping, but I couldn't drive and play photographer!)
