| father's day candle |
|
| |
This morning I wanted to light a candle in the church for my dad in memory of him. It was early in the morning and the church was closed. So I left to work. But I couldn't let it go perhaps I am emotional these days as if that candle was burning in my heart. So I tried in my way to find somebody to light that candle for me in the church, but i couldn't. I ran out of hope and my hope alarm set off. I was drowning in my hopelessness.
Perhaps my father was lighting a candle for me from his side. I heard the telephone ring for a long time (not my cell phone) I picked it up. My boss's friend was wishing him a happy father's day. But because I know him, we had a short conversation then he said happy father's day to me too. Then I went to my car and picked up my Bible and began to read. Minutes later, my cell phone rang. i heard a sentence clear enough but in a language i never heard before. but wen i wanted to continue my reading, I realized it was Luke 12:30 that says, " Your heavenly Father knows about your need from day to day if you will make the kingdon of God your primary concern."
Sometimes we forget that we have a father up there that knows our needs and we are his sons. But when emotions take over, the logic just evaporates then we need candle light even if its from up above. |
