so it's official. i got tickets for both Micah and me to head, with another father/son, to game 3 of the Celtics/Cavs playoffs in boston. i have wanted to go to a basketball playoff game since Larry Bird and the Celtics lost to the Lakers in '87. sky hook by Magic, eesh.
game is next friday, long drive to boston, but totally worth it. i told my 9 year old about it today, and he was ecstatic. he already made a poster that he is planning to hold up at the game. (so if you see a green blip in the nose bleed section, that might be us.) It says, "go cavs". NO, i'm totally kidding. he has green blood like me.
fascinating how a son takes after a father without there being much effort in it. seems very natural, instinctual, perhaps you could say, God-given. i guess that's why our spiritual instincts incline us to be like our heavenly father. but only if we spend some good quality time with him. maybe it's time for a "road trip" with the Father?
as much as i got hyped about the game, it is nothing compared to the thrill of being able to take my son. it is nothing compared with his face expression today when i told him he was coming along for the ride. it is nothing compared to seeing him make that poster.
i bet God feels the same way when i am truly excited to be with him.
