"Do you ever wonder what God is like?"
A father took his three-year-old son outside on a beautiful day for a walk. They wound up walking through a memorial park where it just so happened that the youngster’s great-grandfather was buried. Obviously walking through a memorial park and talking about his great-grandfather led the little guy to asking some questions about death.
Only he didn’t ask the typical "Why?" questions of a three-year-old. His father explained how "Big PaPa" as they called him had died and how his body was there in the park but his "spirit" was with God in heaven. The little boy asked, "Daddy, what is God like?"
His Dad thought for a moment, and then answered, "Buddy, think of the kindest person you know. God is like that and even more!"
The three-year-old thought about that for a moment more and then said, "I get it. God is like my Mommy!"
What could his Daddy say?
God is a lot like that, and even more. Thank God for your mother this weekend as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
