I watched a video of a man, from a different country, that carried his teen son around in his arms; as the son was disabled and could not walk on his own. This father carried him to and from school, to home. This father’s love and determination for his son, to give him the best life possible, was beautiful to see. I can hear God reminding us that He will carry us both now, and then someday, home to heaven to be with Him. Eventually this father and his son were gifted a wheelchair and then a truck to help make their life easier. This was a wonderful gift that a community of people donated to. This man is a loving father, just as God has called him to be. I pray they have a good life. His son is blessed to have such a loving father. How blessed are we to have such a loving father too. For we are so incredibly loved by God that we can be certain, even through hardships, He will carry us through life in His loving arms. And someday, He will carry us home to be with Him, forever.
