Daddy's Little Driver




If I'm to buy you a gift on the week of Valentine's Day, Christmas, your birthday, etc. you will probably know without a second guess what the gift is for. This is because gifts have one similar characteristic. It's season or occasion based.
 
 

On the flip side, you have some culture or custom which is not occasion dependent. It can be seen as a "mandatory willingness", if such a phrase exists. But it simply defines your obligation to do some things but in sync with your will.

I was meditating on... “But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.”
I Corinthians 12:31

I realize we desire so many gifts in life at different points in time; be it spiritual or physical. Most times it makes us "feel loved".

What if someone chooses a more excellent way or culture towards us for the rest of our lives, I mean a full time, everyday kind of love thing?

So my little girl who is barely some few weeks old gets that and so much more. Although she is not yet capable of comprehending all that love, she gets a down pour every day from my wife and I.
Nothing seems "too expensive". Tolerance level is exceeding maximum - day and night. We beg her when she "annoys" us with her cries (especially the ones we think is unreasonable after doing all that you know how to do). We attempt to pacify her by dancing, singing and even composing new songs too just to please her. "If she sorry for you she go sleep but we are satisfied with her awake but quiet" - that's GOLD.

Trust me she is "The Boss". Not just daddy's little driver but mummy, aunties, uncles, grandmas, granddad, neighbors & gateman too in different categories, degrees, physically or remotely.

What if everyone attempts to practice this kind of love not just to our babies but our spouses, friends, neighbors, relations even strangers?

The Apostle Paul wrote about the details of what the more excellent way is; thousands of years ago (1 Corinthians 13) but indeed the scripture is fulfilled in my life, thanks to Daddy's little Driver - Princess Nyore.
