"Tell me More Pleeeeease !"

"Tell me More Pleeeeease !" 

1 Peter 1:8 "Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory."

Abby's Dad was in the Army and had been on a long Deployment for the last 3 years.
She had only been 6 months old when he had left while her older
brother Sam was 8 years old. She was now almost 4 ; and Sam was 9.
Their Dad was coming Home in the next month and the whole family
was sooo excited waiting for The Day!

They were planning some very special dad's favorite outings and
Dad's favorite foods.Abby would listen as her mom talked about the
places to go and the foods to eat. She couldn't remember very much
about her Dad ; she had been just a Baby; but now she would
pump her Mom with questions:

"Does Dad like baseball?" "Will we go on a picnic? Does he want to see
my gymnastics?" Will he remember me- sometimes I can't remember 
much about him?" Her Mom would give her exciting examples of what
Dad loved to do and even some of those they had done
while Abby was a Baby.

Tell me More Pleeease! She could never hear enough and wanted
to be "up on everything" by the time Dad got Home!

When she had exhausted Mom, she would start on Sam. Since he was
older, he knew more stories. She made Sam take her out to "play catch"
when she found out Dad liked baseball. She made Sam tell her about
some  overnight camping that he had with Dad before he left. Abby
was slightly jealous of her brother but was glad he knew so much
about Dad. Abby got Sam to teach her how to ride without training
wheels so that the whole family could take bike rides together.
 
Tell me more Pleeease!

Is this not what we Do?!
 Tell others about our Dad who is on His Way. We do not know everything
about Him But we know enough to excitedly tell them how much that
He loves us and we love Him. The better we know and have known Him,
the better we can describe Him and get others ready for Him to come back!!
We're not talking about some historical figure - as important as they may be.
We are talking about our Father and our Savior who is coming to actually
take us Home with Him! Excitement should creep into our voice as we talk
and help others to know Him.

Pleeease tell me More!
