Well,
yesterday I went to Pastries for Padres.
I actually thought it was Pastries WITH
Padres, but I was rather severely corrected by my date. Nope.
Not Chris. My date was Cailyn,
and I was honored when she asked me to accompany her to her school’s breakfast
for Dads. Her Dad had to be at work, so
I got to be his stand-in. Proud to do
it.
When
we first arrived, there didn’t seem to be that many people there. Oh, we saw five or six Dads who were
obviously hand in hand with their little dates, but the parking lot wasn’t all
that crowded. By the time I left the
event a scant half-hour later, however, the parking lot was totally full. Cars were parked lining every street. Cars even blocked the driveways into the
lots.
Once
we got inside, there were Dads everywhere.
And more kept coming. I saw two
local pastors, four fire fighters, one EMS guy, a few guys who worked for city
crews. And a host of other Dads, of
course. Oh, and there were even some
Moms in the building. And siblings
galore. I kind of felt sorry for all of
them, though. See, I got to sit next to
the most beautiful young lady in the whole building. And apparently one of the most popular as
well. She couldn’t keep up with all the
youngsters calling out, “Hi, Cailyn” as they worked their way toward the food
lines. When we finished our tasty
cinnamon rolls, Cailyn even took our trash to the trash can. Quite the little hostess.
Oh, I
almost forgot … in one of the highlights of the morning Cailyn used my phone to
take a selfie of the two of us. Then she
posted it on line, where a lot of folks have since registered their
approval. Then she sent it to her Mom
and Dad and Nani. Ah, technology. Ain’t it grand? And technology operators? The younger the better. I would call this event a rousing success.
1 Timothy
1:17 says, “Now to the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Father,
watch over all of those youngsters and their families. Amen.
