Inspired by Meg, I have decided to share a video with you all that I have been showing everywhere else, not least including it as a sermon illustration at church a couple weeks ago.
It is just amazing how much emotion can be packed into a simple video, sometimes, and I think there is an entire almanac written into the humble minute-and-a-bit that this one runs for.
I will gladly admit that I am sucker for anything to do with the love of children and parents. I have four great kids myself, and I am a man now that I could never have hoped to be, had I not become a Dad. The immeasurably deep love and unquestioning trust of my children has “made” me, as it were. Parents will know what I mean.
(Yes, kids can “unmake” you too… but let’s not wreck this moment!)
This video is self-explanatory and I’ll just say this: watch the boy’s face intently.
The first time I watched this I broke down. It touched something very deep inside me. And no matter what your feelings about war and the Iraq conflict in particular, I trust you will not miss the immense beauty here…
