Kids getting along

   I am learning a lot about God from being a dad.  My two toddler boys are now at the age where they are starting to play together and fight together. As is usual with most parents (I think) I have to spend quite a bit of energy trying to keep them from fighting over toys and sometimes who gets to sit on daddy's lap (a least for now they both can fit).   Usually the fights start when one of my boys picks up a toy and shows it to the other one and then the other one wants it and tries to grab it and eventually someone gets hit or pushed over. 

    Recently I watched my youngest son Elijah give a toy that he had in his hand, to his older brother Joshua to play with.  I felt a sense of joy flood my heart because my kids were getting along and even sharing! I looked at my wife and said, "did you see that"? She looked at me and smiled.  As I was walking away a thought came in my mind, "what if that is how God feels when his kids share and get along". I know this is probably not some super grand revelation to most people but for me I think I felt a little of what God, our heavenly Father feels when we give or share something with someone else!
