Alex and I relate more to "touch" and "words" whereas Curt tends more towards "gifts" and "service". Paul, young children are often afraid of robotic toys. It is sweet that your dad wanted to gift you with something related to a passion of yours at the time, but bittersweet that he was disappointed with the results. Too often our own motivation in gift giving is to see that delighted reaction! But how elusive and unpredictable it is in children! <br />This season lets remember that nothimg can compare with God's love for us, that he gave his own son to die for us. Our human attempts at love pale in comparison, but parents' love for their child comes close. Rest in the assurance that you were and are dearly loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
