Sweets

my boy and grandboy
2017

"You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (Psalm 16:11)

Four-year-old grandboy: "Daddy, Daddy, we need to make PawPaw a birthday cake. I want to eat it for PawPaw. Daddy, can we make PawPaw a birthday cake?"

His dad: "We probably won't because Momma and I are fasting sweets."

Grandboy: "What's that?"

Dad: "We don't eat sweets so we can hear God's voice."

Silence.

Grandboy: "Daddy, God wants us to make birthday cakes. You remember?"

Beloved, I pray you will hear the sweet voice of Jesus today.
