A Father’s Business Postscript

Luke 2:41-52 NKJV)
The Boy Jesus at the Temple


Mom held in her heart that day long past

And I remember the next day, Dad waking up my sorry ass.

In my teen angst, I moaned, “What is it, Boss of Bosses?”

He replied, “Rise and shine! [1]
We gotta finish that big order of Roman crosses.”


Footnotes:
Note 1 - Isaiah 60:1

A Father’s Business

Luke 2:41-52 (NKJV)
The Boy Jesus at the Temple

“Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”


Did you give a thought about mine?

Two late jobs ,

And one lost job bid,

All because I had to go fetch my kid.


But at the Seder,

When it was asked:

"Why is this night different from all other nights?”

I felt that he had an answer to that question

that no one else

but my Lord God could recite.
