My newest main man has the most amazing smile you have ever seen in your life. When he smiles his eyes become sparkly, and his mouth turns into the reason for global warming. I mean he doesn’t just turn up the corners of his lips a little; no he opens wide with a delight that warms the heart and soul of those who witness his joy. To see his smile is to feel the weight of the world go away if only for a moment.

I am also taken by his passion. Whatever he does, he does with commitment. He is either involved or he is gone. He sets a goal and will not stop trying to reach that goal. My man has more energy than a NASA rocket, always going from one task to the next at full speed. Even though he is goal orientated he also likes his play time. He is a rough sort of man preferring rough and tumble games, and doesn’t have the patience for sitting and listening. A video may distract him for a moment, but he is soon on the move again.  

There is one other thing that I admire about my newest main man. He knows where his comfort can be found. He knows where to go when he needs love, or protection. He knows who cares for him and comforts him. There are many people in his life who would die for him, but there is one above all others who he goes to in his time of need. His mother.  His mother is his comfort, his rock, his protection.

Do you have someone to go to in times of trouble? Where do you turn for protection, comfort, and care? Jesus says come to Me, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:27-29. In a prior post I mentioned a song written by Jennifer Nettles of the Country Duo Sugarland. The name of the song is Fall Into Me, and the words that some up the song are; “I want to be the one you reach for first.” I think those are the words God would use today in offering Himself to you and me.

My newest main man is Ranger Lee Johnston, aka, Ranger Roo. He’s my grandson. He’s eleven months old, and he knows who to turn too in times of distress. I have fifty-three years on the Roo, and I wish I was mature enough to turn to in my Rock and Salvation every time I was in need.

Till next time,
