Do you see it?

This weekend, I traveled to a missions conference near Oklahoma City. Things have been hectic at work, and the timing was a challenge, but the meeting was refreshing. While I was between sessions, I called home to talk with my family. My four year old started telling me all about some of the things he had been doing and then went into an elaborate description of a picture that he had drawn. After he finished telling me about it, he said "Do you see it, Daddy?" and held the picture up to the phone.

Needless to say, I couldn't see it, but I could easily picture him holding his picture up to the phone with excitement. Sometimes I scan the kids pictures and place them as the background on my computer desktop. No doubt, he thought this one was "desktop material". One day, he will understand that you can't see through the telephone (or maybe one day you WILL be able to see through one), but in the mean time, maybe, on second thought, I do see it ... and it looks GREAT!
