Morrow did you know!

Morrow did you know!

So I heard a great song during Christmas time, "Mary did you know" It is sung as if to Mary, the earthly mother of Christ. In the song she is asked if she knew that her son would "heal the blind", "Walk on water" and "get the lame to walk". I really liked this song because it seems to me that sometimes we forget how "human" God was at that moment. I mean Mary obviously knew that her "Jesus" was different that others. She knew something was up. But could she actually have believed and known. ....... maybe.

But then!!

The real thought hit. What about the desciples. I mean now really. Peter's mother surely would not have expected that one day her son would "walk on water".

Peter's Mother] did you know?

What about heal the blind, teach the lame to walk. WHOA! now that is a big deal. Did Mary know? Yeah Maybe. But what about the disciples mothers. What did they know. That they would fish. They just knew it. But they were so much more than fisherman. I love this thought because sometimes we forget how "Godlike" the disciples were with the power of Christ. So how do we get back to that?

So thus the title. Morrow did you know! I have to wonder if Morrow Graham had any clue that her son William (Billy Graham) would be who has become. I seriously doubt it. I am sure she loved her son and hoped for the best from him..... but come on now. Every major country, thousands of personal spiritual revolutions. He has consulted every president of the USA for decades. How could she have known?

She couldn't. How could the earthly parent have any clue what the Heavenly Father has in mind.

AND THEN LIKE RUSHING WIND....

Shawn did you know????? Marja did you know????
[I can't type this without choking up a little]

Who? what? when? Dear Lord, what have you got in mind for my little girl. Please God keep her safe. Guard her little heart. But Lord she is yours. Help me to prepare her that I may not hinder your plans.

SLOWLY IT COMES CLOSER.

James did you know???? Violet did you know????

I have done nothing really. Not that I am some major dissapointment. In fact I may have done exactly what God had planned. But I don't want to miss out either. What is it that is planned. I know my life changed when i became a father, but it didn't end. I still focus on God's calling in my life. Dear Lord. Help me listen to your plans for me. May i be up to the challenge.

God is Good!
Amen.
