Did you know my favorite color is green?

Goodness gracious. Little people will wear the heck out you. They need constant direction, explanation, grace, and forgiveness, all bound in love. But don't we all? Lord knows I sure do. I would be runnin' around like a chicken with its' head cut off without the steadfast, guiding hand of God.

I have a few friends that wear me out daily.

One little friend in-particular, wears me out when he absolutely will not play a math game because he is not using his favorite color dice, which is green.

Or when he will not cut out shapes on his paper because he is not using his favorite colored scissors, which are green.

Or when he has to move his clip from "Green" (it's his favorite color) to "Yellow" (warning) because he has made a poor choice. Now, not only is he in trouble (arms crossed, angry face looking to the ground, stomping feet) but his clip is now hanging out on yellow rather than his favorite color, which is green.

"Ms. Teddy, did you know my favorite color is green?" I get this question almost every week.

The kid loves the color green. He has green shoelaces, loves Mario and Luigi (mostly Luigi because, of course, he's green), and pretty much any living or lifeless being that is green.

I will give it to the kid, he's got some downright passion for the color green. 

All I got to say is this: I'm tryin' to have this kind of passion for my Loving, Compassionate, Perfect Savior. My little friend wants the world to know his love for green. I want the world to know, His people to know, this Love that has been freely given. This Love that surpasses all understanding. This Love that is steadfast and constant.

Father God rock my world daily. Bring me to my knees each morning and night, humbled at Your feet, so I could go and bring this kind of passion to Your people. 

Amen.
