We're Gonna Make It Son. Rob Bell: Rain


I love this video. I watched it before I was a father and it was good. I watched it again the other day and it was like I had never seen it before. Rob says that the experience of the storm for him was an event he would cherish and never forget with Trace. I pray God gives me that perspective on my experience as a father with George. I could see myself walking through the woods and getting rained on think about how stupid I might be for taking the walk in the first place. I see myself think how bad of a father I am because my son might get sick. But to cherish a moment like this as a moment where my son and I are so close, a moment where I would do anything to get him to safety, a moment where I can whisper in his ear "It's gonna be alright, I love you, we're going to make it son"... That gives me the perspective of God's unfailing love for us.
