On My Daddy's Shoulders.

This picture of Glenn and Mayson holding hands stirs my heart. There is something magical about holding your Daddy's hand. The strength, the comfort, the warmth, the security; knowing deep down inside that your Daddy will always lead you in the right direction.

There is something breathtaking about holding your child's hand. The innocence, the comfort, the warmth, the responsibility; knowing deep down inside that you always want to lead your child in the right direction.

I love the way God holds our hand, even when we seem to have let go, He still hangs on. He is the way....


Do you remember being thrown up on the shoulders of your Daddy?? How scary, how vulnerable, how exhilarating, yet how beautiful your vantage point.
Even more so, I love the way God throws us up on His shoulders at times and gives us a clear view of all that is around us. Sometimes that view isn't always picturesque, but knowing, once your feet hit the ground and your hand holds tight to His, you'll at least be facing forward.
