Running away...

Spencer started school this week! On picking him up from school on the second day, he promtply informed me that he would not be going to school tommorow. "Why?" I asked, "Don't you like school?"...what followed was a small saga.

The teacher had taken her preps to the playground and had stayed with them for ten minutes. Spencer would run and play with his friends then run back to the teacher, after doing this a few times he was heartbroken to discover that his teacher was no longer there. "I am lost" he said. He moved from sad to scared as he realised that he was in a big playground and his teacher wasn't there to look after him. Thankfully one of his little girlfriends came to the resuce and found another teacher, who took Spencer to the staff room to see his teacher eating her lunch...

He didn't like the feeling of being lost. It reminded me of how often can we be much like Spencer, running away from, and then back towards God till we get ourselves completely lost. However just as the teacher was easily found so too is God, if you seek Him with all your heart.
