John 16:33 - "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
A co-worker upset my son Chris this evening. He called me on his way out of the parking lot. We both have hands free cell phone systems in our cars. I was able to talk to him and assist in calming him.
I feel useless these days not having my children around me anymore. I am glad Chris called me for a talk. It reminded me that even though I may not see my three children on a daily basis like "once upon a time"...I am still a parent...a daddy.
God be with my three as they make their way in the world. This is a world that can offer many things. In hard times we must be strong.
We must. Amen.
