Ping Pong Conversations

Labor Day Weekend marks the anniversary of the first time I met my husband. He hosted a barbecue and invited my roommate and she brought me along. That weekend I played my very first game of ping pong and it just so happened to be with a tall, handsome man with a great smile and big brown eyes. About twenty minutes into our "match" I announced with shock and enthusiasm "I didn't know I was so good at this game!!!" For indeed I was making contact with every swing of the paddle. It was probably about a year later that Russ confessed "I knew that if I got the ball right to your paddle that you would keep talking to me and that our conversation wouldn't have to end."

Okay...how sweet is that? He didn't want to stop talking to me!

How awesome is it to know that you have a Savior who never wants your conversation to end? How terrific is it that Jesus doesn't need you to "hit the ball right to his paddle" in order to keep talking to Him? That all day, every day the One who knows you best and loves you most is ready and available to talk and listen to every concern of your heart.

Why don't you take a minute right now to share a moment of sweet conversation with your Savior?

"pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children."
Lamentations 2:19
