Long ago in a land far away and unlike any you've ever seen, there lived a wise man named Shaddai. Shaddai was a large man with a tender heart. He had bright blue eyes and a long, thick beard. When he laughed, which is something he did often, his cheeks would lift until his eyes became half-moons of joy. When he sang, which is something else he did often, everything stopped to listen.
Tall aspens would bend. Squirrels, butterflies, and birds would pause.
Even the children would turn when they heard his voice. And well they should. It was for them he sang.
Shaddai built a wonderful village for the children to live in. He gave them everything they needed. And with his own hands Shaddai built a protective wall around their village, rock by rock.
He did all of this for just one reason...
Because he loved them.
Because I love you- By Max Lucado-
