Our Little Game

Every parents have little games with thier children. We are no difference.
Between us, we have develop our own Father-and-Son games.
I don't know how you first started it. I think probably at the moment when you hurt yourself and noticed that you had my special attention on the part of your body that was hurting.
Now, whenever you want my attention, you will pinch your cheek and call out to me 'eh...eh', and I will get up or stop whatever I am doing, and go over to you and pretend to comfort and kiss your cheek. In responce, you will smile.
Sometimes, the moment I step in the house from work, you will do that.
And sometimes, when you fall and knock your head, you will still touch your cheek though it is not that part which is hurting!
You have learn a secret code to have my attention.
But, son, I wish to let you know, you don't need to wait or pretend to be hurt to have my attention. I wish, even the day comes when you have grown up, you can still run to me for attention and advice when you need them. You will always have my attention because you are my son.
This little game also remind me of paying attention to you before you seriously hurt yourself.
I pray that, I will not be too busy and too occupied with my work, that you need to hurt yourself to get my attention.
Even if I sometimes fail you, always remember that we have our heavenly Father who neither slumber nor sleep (psalm 121:4).
You will never need to hurt yourself to get God's attention.
Because His Son Jesus had hurt himself on the Cross to pay the penalty of our sins.
Those who put their trust and hope in Christ are God's children who have His constant attention both in good times and bad times.
What a blessing we have.
