This is a simple story book I picked up at the library because it really spoke to me of unconditional love. It is of a father and son going out for a walk...italics I used to describe the picture.
-------
son: Do you love me? -(daddy putting on son's boots)
dad: Yes, I love you very much.
son: Why do you? -(as they are walking outside)
dad: Oh, lots of reasons.
son: Do you love me because I'm strong?
dad: Mmmm, perhaps.
son: Do you love me because I'm fast? -(dad running to keep up)
dad: Yes, and when you're slow too.
son: And when I'm kind? -(son is carrying a dog across a creek)
dad: Certainly when you're kind...oops! -(dad slips into the water)
son: Do you love me when I'm brave? -(son is climbing a tree now)
dad: Yes, but be careful. -(dad wringing out his socks)
son: And when I'm funny? -(son is dangling upside down from a branch)
dad: Yes, but please, please be careful -(dad trying to put shoes back on)
son: Do you love me when I'm clever? -(son is walking out on the branch)
dad: Yes...watch out! -(branch breaks down and both are on the ground)
son: Do you love me when I'm naughty?
dad: Yes, even when you're naughty. -(looking at each other lying down)
son: As much as when I'm good? -(dusting themselves off)
dad: Yes, just as much. -(dad wiping him off)
son: Why do I try to be good then?
dad: I don't know why. You tell me. -(while they walk along)
son: Because I love you too. -(they hold hands while walking back home)
Why do you love me?

Hey Karl, I liked that story. Yes that is the father's love, endless like the ocean.
Zachary is so cute. I could eat him with a spoon, not really, just being a peach. But seriously, what an handsome boy. I love his shirt, very vibrant. Are you getting him ready for the art fesstival in June. Don't forget
God is truly great, He is opening up many neat opportunities. I am glad you finally are doing your blog. There is a good feel here. I think I will take my shoes off.

Take off your shoes, kick back and relax and smile...yes, that is what I'm hoping this blog can evoke, and if you want to dance...dance!
Love ya' Larry, thanks for all that you are doing to help me and others jump into the river of JOY!
