My son is obsessed with his father.
(He likes me a lot too, so it's all good. :) )
He cries for his Dad when he leaves for work. He'll randomly ask for him throughout the day. He looks for Kris wherever we go. He cries when he wants him and he's not there.
A few times recently, Kris had to leave for work before Sam got up. One of the days, Sam looked on his side of the bed, and searched the house high and low, calling "Daddy". When he realized Kris wasn't here (and I had to explain that Daddy went to work), he was really upset. Mommy had to step in and give cuddles. (Alright by me!)
Today, we were at the Bible school for a meeting, and Sam thought Kris was there (he had done a bunch of renovations and we went and visited him a few times). It's funny how he just knew that that was place that his Dad has been, and that maybe he was there this time too.
Even as I went to write this blog, Sam could see a thumbnail of my profile picture of the three of us, and could even spot Daddy there. No matter how small, Sam can spot his dad. He really, really loves him.
I really need to be better at spotting my Dad. (You know, the creator-of-the-universe, Alpha-Omega one.) I need to be more obsessed with my Heavenly Father. Seeking him out anywhere he might be. Looking for Him in the smallest places. Crying out when I feel separation from him. I need to put my Jehovah radar on. Just like Sam has his Daddy radar on all the time. I need to be excited to look for him, excited to find him, excited when I know he might be somewhere.
And the best thing about my Father, is that He is ALWAYS where I look for him. All I have to do is look. And He'll be there.
Why aren't I looking more often?
I need more of a heart like Sam has. Seeking, wanting, watching, waiting...

Beautiful, dude.
Sam is so, so, so cute.
I completely agree. What if we were constantly seeking? Constantly involving our Father in the decisions of our lives...it's a beautiful example of why Jesus says we must become like these little ones - that is how we enter the kingdom of God. To be childlike again....what a dream.
thanks for that!
Excellent Analogy! Isn't a child's love for their father incredible, I am excited that our kids get to grow up with Dad's like theirs. Although the mothers will need sedatives when they hit 13 and their dad decide that building a bike jump off the roof of the house is a "Great Idea Son!" It is truly a blessing all around. And, the pic of Sam melted my heart, that would make a fantastic father's day gift with this post attached;) Love ya
