Pop Pop Pop

This is Grand-Baby #6 with her Pop Pop Pop.  This system of identification is simple when considering the obvious generation progression.  My wife & I are Mom Mom & Pop Pop.  Very simple, right?  So of course my folks would be Mom Mom Mom & Pop Pop Pop.  That was easy to explain.  Now I realize that most people, when they hear that from the children, think that they are stuttering, but the great-grand kids consider these titles to be perfectly normal.  That's what they have always called them.

So is the case for the children of God.  We are very comfortable in calling out to our heavenly Father.  His names & titles flow from our lips with ease of familiarity as if spoken a million times over.  Our simplicity of affection my seem odd to some observers, but it deters us not from our pursuit of His face to shine upon us.  We are unashamedly fond of being in His presence and feel as comfortable there as being in our own home, for in reality we believe that it is our home.  This is the obvious generational progression for those who are "In Christ".
