Blessed Father's Day - A Tribute

A young Indian is taken into the forest by his father.
He is blindfolded and left alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove
the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.
He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survived the night, he is a man.
The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises.
Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm.

The wind blew through the grass, the earth shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never
removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.
It was then he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.

He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

We, too, are never alone.

Even when we don't know it, Our Heavenly Father is watching over us, sitting beside us.

Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.
