Love - Pure & Genuine

Today, I saw a toddler about 1 foot tall  holding onto her father who was 7 feet tall! All the while I heard her asking in her cute little girl voice,  "Daddy, where are we going?"

The Daddy was dressed up in this grey business suit, while the little girl was wearing a white dress and a pair of pink shoes. The Daddy carried a briefcase while the little girl had a doll.
 
Both of them were walking towards the train. Daddy took one step, and daughter  had to catch up with three steps. The scene looked like daddy strolling in the park, daughter tattling after Daddy, side by side.
 
Suddenly, I saw the most beautiful picture ever. The little girl was so tired of holding her doll after carrying it for some time. Then she said, "Daddy, I'm tired. Can you hold it for me pls?"
 
The father reaches out to her, picks up this white tattered doll with red hair and pink dress, and carries it in his arm as if it belonged right there. He didn't even scan the whole metro station to see if people were looking, or chided his daughter, "No no! What would people think?!"
 
Instead, he lovingly relieves the little girl's burden, speeding up her steps! Wow! That was one of the sweetest picture ever of a father-daughter walk.
 
If our father on earth treats us so well, what more our Father in Heaven? So, if you're tired, tell Him. And like that little girl, surrender your sorrows to Him. He'll listen, relieve you of it and you'll skip with flair, soar into the skies, diving like a dolphin in and out of the oceans !
