My Abba's So Very Fond of Me

Brennan Manning tells a great story in his book Abba's Child.

A man went to Ireland for his two week summer vacation. While there his uncle was to celebrate his 80th birthday. On that great morning, both men rose early, dressed silently, and went for a walk alongside Lake Killarney. As the sun rose, the men stood silently side by side, staring straight into the sun. Suddenly, the older man began skipping and had a great smile on his face.

"Uncle, you look so happy!"

"I am, my lad," replied the uncle.

"May I ask why?"

"Certainly," replied the uncle. "It's just that my Abba is so very fond of me."

May you see God's love many times today!
