Description

As I sat there trying to soothe my ten-year-old son, I couldn't help but wonder if maybe sometimes God feels that way. He watches us. He sees us learning and growing, functioning independently and feeling like we've got everything under control. Then something happens and with tears running down our cheeks we reach out to Him. "Oh, God," we cry, "it hurts!" At such times, I can almost feel Him gathering us in His arms, comforting us. Loving us. And helping us through it. Not because He's God, but because He's our parent, and we're His babies.
