Passion

What are the things you are passionate about?

My grandchildren leap to mind. In a recent phone conversation, Bee (3yrs) discovered Boo (4yrs)on the phone with Mommo (60something yrs). Bee promptly sought out another handset in another room and this is what transpired.

Bee: "Hi, Boo!"
Boo: "Hello"
Bee: "Hi, Boo!"
Boo: "Hello"
Bee: "Hi, Boo!"
Boo: "Hello"
Bee: "Are you talking on the phone, Boo?"
Boo: "Yes"

I loved every brief second of that encounter. Bee's delight in discovering a new way to communicate with her older brother brought to mind this passage.  It is one I thought of often when I would catch our three children enjoying each other's company.
"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." Psalm 133:1-3 (NIV)
God is passionate about his children loving each other. 

I pray that when He looks at this child, he sees the dew of Hermon falling, falling.
