Watching my five-year-old grandson interact with my son,
a.k.a. “Daddy” close behind:
Entering unexplored territory:
“Daddy?”
“Yes, Theodore.”
Climbing up the ladder on a slide, which turned out to be a bit higher and steeper than it looked:
(Grunting) “D-a-d-d-y-?”
(Ready to catch him) “Y-e-s, Theodore.”
Emerging safe and victorious at the bottom of the same slide:
“Daddy!”
(Congratulating) “Yes! Theodore!”
Fording the shallow creek that runs through the area:
“Daddy?????”
(Watchfully) “Yes, Theodore!!!
Theodore wandering off limits:
“________”
(Daddy, somewhat sternly) “T-h-e-o-d-o-r-e ?!?!”
All tired out and ready to go home:
(Arms lifted up and out-stretched): “Daddy!?!”
(Taking Theo into his arms and carrying him home):
“Y-e-s-s-s, Theodore …”
1st Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
Mark 10:15-16 Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it. And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. (a.k.a. “Daddy”).
