Rushing out to church and then to deliver Yellow Pages but HAD to share this that came in my mail today!
Pick Thee Me Up
That's another one of Josees' expressions.
Josees is my two-year-old son.
He doesn't have perfect syntax. Even that simple statement requires an ear trained in babyonics to understand.
Pick thee me up!
He says it as he stands in front of me with his outstretched arms and a pleading in his eyes and voice.
Pick thee me up!
Pick thee me up!
Pick thee me up!
Over and over he pleads until sooner or later he's picked up, giving both of us relief.
He is smart enough to recognize the father. He is smart enough to know that the father can lift him out of his situation. He is smart enough to keep pleading until his plea is heard.
Whenever he is frustrated, whenever he is afraid, whenever he feels alone, whenever he needs rest, whenever he needs, he asks the father to "Pick thee me up."
It is a lesson that we all would do well to learn, for we all have a heavenly father.
We all, sooner or later need to call upon him.
We all need to say. . .
Pick thee me up!
Josees was named after Joses, the brother of Jesus.
There were times when Jesus had to call on his father, and say,
"Pick thee me up."
So will you.
(1 Cor 6:14) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
Pick Thee Me Up
