Little Boy Knows He's Not Lost
Mary Southerland writes in Unleashing The Power Of God In My Life:
When our son Jered was a little boy, we were careful to teach him our phone number and address in case he was ever lost.
One night, he and his dad went for a before-bedtime walk. After a few minutes of silence, Dan decided to test Jered's knowledge of where he lived.
"How far are we from home?" Dan asked.
Jered answered, "Dad, I don't know."
Dan tried again, "Well, where are you?"
Again Jered answered, "I don't know." Then his dad said good-naturedly, "Sounds to me like you're lost, son."
With a confident grin, Jered looked up at Dan and responded, "Nope. I can't be lost. I'm with you."
