The other day Stevie wanted to get a haircut. We finally made it by the barbers about 6:00 p.m. and she was closed. I told Stevie I’d take him in the morning. The next morning he reminded me that he wanted to go but I told him that mom would take him to preschool first and then I’d pick him up in a little while so we could get  our haircuts. He wasn’t real happy about that.

I got to the preschool about 11:00 a.m. and he was sitting around the table with all of his little buddies. When he saw me he got up, but before he left he went around and gave all his buddies a hug. When he came out he said to me, “I was thinking you weren’t going to come, dad.” It made me feel a little bad that he would have thought that but I didn’t say anything.  As we were driving to the barbershop I told him that I was sorry that I had taken so long and he said, “I’m sorry that I thought you weren’t going to come dad.”  It struck me that he realized that it was a bad thing to doubt his father’s word. Most of us have lost that sensitivity with respect to our heavenly father. It rarely occurs to us that it’s a bad thing for us to entertain doubts about our heavenly father’s integrity.
