Eyes in the Back of Our Head

The other day my daughter shared with me that when her son was little, he started looking through the back of her hair. His little fingers were combing through it, separating each strand. She said, “Logan, what are you doing?” He said, “I’m looking for the eyes in the back of your head.” Haha, he was so accustomed to her being able to know what he was doing even when she wasn’t looking at him, that she’d kiddingly explained, as many of us parents have, “I can see you. I have eyes in the back of my head.” Well, we certainly wish we had eyes in the back of our head so we could watch out for our children and warn them if they were getting into something they shouldn’t or were about to hurt themselves. No, we don’t have that capability, but there is someone who does. Our Heavenly Father. He watches out for us and over us. Spend some time today thinking back over the many ways God has watched out for you, then thank Him with a grateful heart.
