Watermelon Joy

There’s just something about a boy and his watermelon. I love how everything Luke does he does with so much joy. There is nothing mundane or normal to him. What is routine for us is pure excitement for him. Whether it be simply getting dressed, taking a bath, picking up toys or eating a watermelon – he approaches everything with such a sense of adventure and joy that I wonder sometimes why we lose the pure satisfaction from the simple things in life. Why do we need vacations or thrill parks or something “new” or risk to excite us?

What if we could find deep joy and satisfaction in something as ordinary as a watermelon?

My boy has taught me that. My joy comes from sharing in his.

The next time you have to do something ordinary or mundane… smile.

Your Heavenly Father is watching and delighting in your life too.
