God has the future all “in hand”

You don’t need to know the future,

If you perfectly know the God of the future.

(Every prophecy in the Bible is true.)

FATHERING

First the news comes – you’re going to be one.

Then you find yourself holding your first son.

A second blessing; two sons in a row;

It’s “Fathering 101” – – – “on-the-go.”

You find your wife is pregnant again,

(Is hoping for a girl a big, bad sin?)

She comes, a thrill to her mom’s heart;

There’re three kids now in the grocery cart.

Finally, a second daughter blesses your soul,

Four kiddos made the family “perfect” and whole.

Ownership?

I’ve seen a cow with a “necklace” (can’t say it made her look better) but I realize it’s not HER idea – she belongs to a dairyman who INSISTS she wear the “necklace.”  It helps him identify her (“Bossy” is NOT her own boss).  The cow is not free; she belongs to a “master.”  He uses her.

(Sadly, this can ALSO apply to humans wearing what pleases their master, the devil.)
