Dad

As defined by Websters, Dad : Father, Father is defined as first person in the trinity.

Walking through the store the other day, I watched as a dad was beseiged by his three children, all trying to gain his attention with one crying louder than the others repeatedly; dad, dad, dad, dad, dadddd, dad, dad, can you hear me, dad....

I sometimes feel what this child felt, what have I done wrong that you won't answer or give me your full attention. Then as before I catch my words in mid air as they escape my lips and draw them back with guilt, knowing who am I to ask for his attention from those who are in desperate flight or peril.

The song " His Eye on the Sparrow" races through my heart;

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,



Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home,


When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He:


His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;

Oh how humble we should all be to know we lack nothing.
