Who’s your Daddy?

My children just recovered from cold( due to the hot weather I have been slack in using hot water for their bath and ensuring they were properly covered at night)

So I was in the kitchen when Tori came in to take cold water from the freezer. ‘Mummy I am going to take cold water(I had banned them from cold water).’ ‘No, you won’t,’ I replied. ‘Yes, I will’ she retorted with an impish grin, then she opened the freezer, took out very chilled water.

I paused in surprise, wondering what was giving her the confidence to ignore me as she carried the water out of the kitchen.

Then I called my husband who was eating at the dining, ‘baby did you tell Tori to give you water?’ ‘Yes, I did,’ he replied.

I realised what gave Tori confidence;
She had a higher backing, she was just a messenger working with daddy’s authority, and the mischievous girl tried to rub it in my face because she knew I won’t be able to stop her.

As I smiled in amusement at her antics a thought dropped in my mind… Do you know your backing?

Did you run back when life tries to chase you away from your message?

Or you ignore the threats and move on with the goals, ideas, dreams, plans e.t.c?

Who told you no?

On whose authority are you sent?
