Tonight, the heart of the mother aches.
Plans have been made to meet the father, and she made him aware she would contact him when they were done. The fluttering of her stomach began again as she called the father, calendar in hand, to discuss with him the dates of the summer. She heard his voice again, only it was his voice mail. He only spoke his last name.
She left a message for him to return her call. That was yesterday afternoon, and she's yet to hear from him. She has prayed and petitioned The Heavenly Father to speak to her earthly father. She has fear that her son will face rejection once again, something he's know too many times.
The son's words send the message that he's not concerned, but the mother's heart feels a different story. He has been quiet today, uninvolved. While he had earlier said it would be okay if his father didn't want to meet him, she was surprised when he asked if she had reached the father. When she told him she left a message, she wasn't concerned. Now, more than twenty-four hours later, she is.
Would you join her in prayer, prayer for the father, prayer for the son, prayer for peace? Would you pray that moving of the Holy Spirit on the heart of the father? would you pray that he come to know the Heavenly Father? Would you join the mother in asking the Father to do more than she could ask or imagine?
