This past weekend was Father's Day weekend. We took the boys to Dollywood on Friday and to see Christopher's face when he saw Bob and Larry from Veggietales was worth the entire trip. He was one excited 3 year old boy. He was also very excited when he got to see Chris and Martin from Zooboomafoo at their animal show at the park. Maybe the best part of that day was when he put his tired head on my shoulder and said "lets go home daddy, lets go home."
As a parent it is wonderful to see that excitement and awe and to also feel the love of your child as they wrap their arms around your neck as they want to go home. WARNING: Obvious spiritual application coming up! As children of God do we still approach the days with wonder and awe? Do we see the amazing love expressed in all of creation and the undying love of the Father when he sent his Son to die for us? Do we still want to climb into the Father's arms and say "Lets go home daddy, lets go home"?
In Him,
David
