Singing Dads

I love my dad.  I remember, as a child, laughing with my little brothers as he walked through the house singing (to the tune of "if you're happy and you know it") "I LOVE MY BOOOYS, YES I DOOOO!"  He took so much pride and pleasure in us that he would sing...and we still remember it 20 years later. 

But it never really hit me what that was like until I had a daughter.

It's funny, I'll be making Mae something to eat for lunch and suddenly break out into a random song about how much I love making her turkey sandwiches.  Afterward, I find myself crawling around the house singing about how I love her .  I don't even think about it, it just sort of happens. 

The CRAZIEST part of it all is that GOD does the same thing!

Zephaniah 3:17 says,

The LORD your God is in your midst,
    a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
   he will quiet you by his love

and Psalm 149:4 says,

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
   he adorns the humble with salvation.

The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  The Creator of the earth who resurrected Jesus from the dead.  The One Being who holds the right and power to obliterate the universe...sings about how much He loves me.  It's a little bit like walking through the house singing, "I love my booooys, yes I doooo!" 

He's a Sovereign Ruler. Righteous Judge. Jealous God. Holy King. Singing Daddy.

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Paul (Romans 8)
