The Father's Message
Life is a journey. At times it can be very sweet, but there are also times where it is bitter. In those tough times, we can often feel alone, and sometimes even abandoned. The little boy in the story below was certainly feeling this way. But what he discovers is an important reminder for all of us!Like many inspiring movies and books, this short story may be fictional. However, the impact that this work will have on its readers is very real. Enjoy!

A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm.
The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night, the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there!
"For we walk by faith, not by sight!" 2 Corinthians 5:7
