'Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and
wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.'
Jeremiah 33:3 MSG

It's Probably One of the Kids

The air was thick with lovebugs as I drove along the turnpike. Each
year, about this time, the lovebug phenomenon occurs. My windshield
was practically covered with splattered lovebugs that were pelting the
cars like driving rain.

I pulled into a gas station to clean off the window. As I was
scraping, I heard a cell phone ring. A loud voice, from over by the
next tank, called out, "Can you get it?! It's probably one of the
kids!" She was outside her car, pumping gas, but she did not want to
miss the call that might have been from her kids.

By glancing at my mobile phone screen, I can quickly identify if one
of my children is calling. I try to take their calls anywhere I am,
at any time. You never know. Could be just a call to say hi and chat,
or it could be a call concerning some type of emergency. At any rate,
I just like to hear their voice.

I thought about how prayer is like 'heavenly' mobile phones. Sort of
"hot-lines" to our Father. And whether His kids are calling to say
hello, and have a simple prayer conversation with the Lord, or calling
with a serious situation that needs a listening, compassionate ear and/
or wise counsel and direction, He always answers that phone, "I'll get
it! It's probably one of the kids."
