A Parent's Love

This week we bought tickets to see the Wiggles when we are in Perth in December.  I'm really excited - not because the Wiggles is my live show of choice, nor because I'm a rare parent who is not driven crazy by daily repetitions of their music (I am - driven crazy that is) but because I know that my daughter is going to love it.  Like any parent I get a real kick out of seeing her joy and excitement.

In Luke 11, Jesus talks about His Father's joy in giving to His children.  As he put it (and I paraphrase), if we as imperfect but well-intentioned parents love giving good things to our children, how much more does God love giving even better things to His children (verse 13).
