"Uncle Seamus, you look very happy."

I was reading a devotion one morning a few weeks ago. The author related a story of a friend who went on holiday to Ireland. One morning he and his one living uncle (about to celebrate his 80th b-day), took a walk on the shores of Lake Killarney and stopped to watch the sunrise. The man noticed a smile on his uncle's face and inquired, "Uncle Seamus, you look very happy."
"I am."
"Why is that?"
"Because the Father of Jesus is very fond of me."
