Time to Talk?

My last child at home got her license to drive on November the 3rd and though I am happy for her I miss her.  Yes, she still lives in the same house with me but I miss her in the car.  I miss talking with her one on one and having her undivided attention.  If she was driving I didn't even have to compete with her I Phone.  It was hard letting her go that first morning she drove herself  to school.  I made her text me every morning when she got to school the first few weeks.  It seems hard to just sit down and have a conversation with her because of school activities, homework and of course the I Phone.  Of course like any child there is always time to talk when something is wanted or needed.

My missing the talks that we had nearly every morning before the license made me wonder about my conversations with God.  How often does He miss me?  How often am I too busy with my activities, getting ready for the day or messing with my phone that I forget to have conversations with the One who is always there.  It does seem like I never forget to talk with my God when I need or want something.  I always am ready to kneel when I am hurt or sad.  My missing her reminded me that God's keeps His ears ope to hear my prayers.  It shouldn't matter what is going on in my life I should always have the time to talk with God!

Do you have time to talk?


1 Peter 3:12 (NKJV)

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
