"But the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me." —the words of Jesus, John 14:31Let me tell you about a story I heard years ago. I can't remember where, so if the author (or songwriter) is out there somewhere and reads this, please take your credit.
It's about a little girl who constantly carried a set of glass beads. The necklace belonged to her mother who died several years ago. They were worn and tattered, but the little girl never let them out of her sight.
One day, her father pulled her into his lap. A warm fire blazed in the hearth. Each night before bedtime, her father would tell her a story, but this night he looked at the beads she clutched in her hands. "Will you let me have those beads?"

Ohhh, I've heard this one before. They used to read it on the Christian radio in the metroplex every year. It's sooo beautiful! But I have no idea who originally started it either. :-P
A wonderful reminder. I have never heard this story before. Thank you for sharing it.
