“Look at the toys!”, says the 6-year-old…

He turns his head turns from side to side…

His eyes big…

His mouth gaping…

Toys!

Toys everywhere!

He’s in the middle of the toy aisle at the store…

“Let’s buy a new monster truck!” he says…

“Not today, Buddy…”

We’re here to buy a present for Daddy…”

“Let’s get him a monster truck…

And the cat’s birthday is next week….

Let’s buy her one too!”

“No, Buddy…

Cats don’t play with monster trucks….”

“I’ll play with the cat’s truck and with Daddy’s truck, too!”

We know their heart’s desire…

And little by little…

Our hearts want the same things…

Perhaps that’s how it is with God…

If we give Him our hearts…

If we spend time with Him…

And if we listen when he speaks…

Perhaps then we will realize that what He wants is the gift the gift of our hearts..
