easter sunday-one story brian and his son

he watched his son as he was separated from him in an overcrowded mall
in the Philippines.
he could see his son but his son could not see him.
but he remembered that he had taught his son luke, that whenever he was lost
or they got separated, to just stand still.He told him with passion, "stand still and Daddy will always find you." so instead of going and grabbing his son,
he crouched down in the crowded mall
and through the passing people, watched Luke, to see if he remembered.
Luke shuffled his feet with looks of nervousness
searching scanning with his eyes
the questions growing in his mind, "where is Daddy?""am i alone?"
He watched his sons expression go from nervousness,
to fear, almost frantically looking around now, but still not moving-
he watched his fear melt into despair,
as Luke hung his head to the floor,
he had lost hope.
The father couldnt take it any longer- he rushed to Lukes side and gathered him in his arms.
the look of relief coming all over the boy.
Brian looked at his son who was now beaming with a smile, and said
"i am so proud of you, you waited right where you were!" "What did I tell you Luke?"
"I don't remember.." he said
"Daddy, will always find you."

and isnt that like us? we search search for God and try so hard. We go in a million directions. And when we cant find Him we ask where is God? Am i really alone? Are we alone? But we have forgotten, that He will always find us.
