Heads Covered

In Israel, one of the families that we meet and spent one day with was Ariel, Meital and their little angel, Tohar (means Purity in Hebrew).  Ariel just got a promotion at work to a.... I think a Captain.  I may be wrong on the rank, I do know it means he is no longer in volunteer service but he is now paid.  His wife, Meital makes head coverings.  They are observant and thus she must wear a covering all of the time.  (Only married women must wear the coverings)  Anyway she and one helper makes them and sells them in various upper end shops around Israel.  They sell for 130.00 Shekels.  Darrel got four of them (at a much discounted rate) for Sarah, Jordan, Hannah and myself.  They are very pretty.  When Hannah wears hers she says she is a princess.  

While with this family on Friday in Jerusalem, at one point little Tohar reached up to her daddy and said "Abba".  It was so touching.  I know I must have been staring because Ariel felt he needed to explain that Abba was daddy or father in Hebrew.  I have so many times heard the analogy of our heavenly father who we call Abba picking us up into His arms when we lift our arms to Him and call him Abba.  So to see this little Hebrew child, named Purity, raising up her arms and calling her Abba and he picking her up in a loving embrace was a beautiful sight to see.  I've pictured it before in my mind, but now I will forever see this memory when I think of this analogy.  Beautiful!  Have you asked your Abba to pick you up today?
