I sat with my 3-year-old son and played a children's game with him on my cell phone. He looked up at me with a huge grin. Then he said, "I like you Mommy!" His abundant love for me radiated from his heart. I could feel God's limitless love for me, through my son's unrestrained appreciation and acceptance.
