"Why did God make waterfalls - dad?" my young son asked one day. Surprised - I had to stop and think about the words to say.
"Because, my son, our God delights in all His pretty things like waterfalls and animals and flowers in the spring."
"But what about the rainbows, dad, does God enjoy them too?" "I'm sure God loves those colors, son, up in the sky so blue."
"But what about me?" my son then asked. "Does God like me like the rest?" "Oh yes, my son." was my reply, "I'll bet God likes you best!"
With that he smiled and held my hand and as we walked away I prayed a "thank-you" in my mind for finding words to say.
Fathers to sons His love is spread inspired from above. moments we will never forget - a heritage of love. |
