Yesterday I did something right. My daughter seemed to have a need to hang with me as the family got ready for the day. Number one... I noticed this! So, I invited her to help with making breakfast. Normally if I'm the one helping to make breakfast I will get everyone set and move right along with the next stage of my "beautification" process which entails... (wait... that's really TMI). But my daughter kept hanging around the kitchen counter. Number two... instead of blowing right past her to do my own thing I stopped and ate breakfast with her at the counter...and we talked! Now this may not seem like a big deal to you... but it's not your blog.
This morning I was reading from Genesis, Chapter 3. It tells of the first sin and of the needs it created for all of us; not just Adam and Eve. This morning I was drawn to the way sin affected the relationship between Adam and Eve. The innocence that once was, was now gone. The way they viewed each other had changed. Sin also brought with it the first instance of fear as both man and woman hid themselves from God. God asked the question "Where are you?" not because he did not know where they were hiding. He was asking them about where they were in their relationship with Him and with each other.
