Like many children and adults today, our 4 ½ year-old grandson, Allen, enjoys playing with a game console called Wii. To play games on the Wii, people create a Mii, which resembles themselves or what they would like to resemble, and play games as this Mii. Their Mii scores points and achieves higher and higher levels of efficiency as the player’s skill improves.
One thing Allen has done a little differently than some of us who think more conventionally is to create Mii’s from his imagination. He designs them as male or female and then gives them shapes and features that he desires them to have. He also clothes them and names them. One such Mii is "Fudgery." Names are important!
According to our daughter, Fudgery is not very attractive to the rest of the family but Allen enjoys using her to play games. His movements cause Fudgery to hit balls, run races, exercise, bowl, etc. Recently, Allen said that he really loves Fudgery and enjoys helping her score points. He asked his mom, “Do you know why I love Fudgery so much? Because I made her! “ He pondered this thought for a minute and said, “that kind of makes me like God, doesn’t it?”
I love it. God loves us because He made us. He enjoys playing with us and helping us to improve - just because He made us. It doesn't matter how we look to others, either.
Have a blessed week as you remember how much God loves you.
