Nathan was happily playing on the little tykes car at church. Another little boy came up and took his car - a bigger boy. Nathan went over and hugged his blanket and with tears in his eyes, waved bye bye to the car. That was his first lesson in world reality. It is heartbreaking. This world is a cold cruel place, with people that will steal your joy if you let them. It's just the beginning. Wow, I wish I could shield him from the heartache; protect him from the pain and sadness of loss. He will have many more experiences of loss in his life. He needs to be taught to go to the Lord with his heartache. A blanket is a good security source when you're two but not when you're twenty-two. Only Jesus can satisfy an aching heart.
