I love to tickle my son. His giggles are contagious. I’m sure your kid’s laughs are no different for you. Joe Rigney over at Desiring God reflects on a recent tickle fight he had with his son. He writes,

He’s a squirmy one, he is. If I don’t watch him, he’ll wriggle off the bed. But he doesn’t want to. He’s enjoying the tickle fight too much. I can’t blame him. Those giggles make this father’s heart want to leap out of my chest. I wonder how long this laugh will last.

Reflect on the tickle fight with me. See the layers of reality at work.

He goes on the make three points.

  1. Triune Joy in Our Little Home
  2. Tickle Fights are High Theology
  3. How to Be His Smile

He ends the post by saying, “And so again, to all moms and dads, embrace the joy of your calling. Your Father is smiling on you. So be the smile of God to your children.” You can read the whole post here.

I think I’ll go tickle my son right now.
