God, you are mami and papi to me!
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing." Matthew 23:37
I have always said that the Love I feel from God reminds me of the love I felt from mami growing up. Papi is a pastor, so he was absent from home a lot of the time. So everytime I heard of God's love, I felt it was more like mami's love. As the years go by, my relationship with papi has changed and improved and he is a lot more present in my life and I have understood why he was not so much so in those early years. Don't get me wrong, he was always there when we needed him, but was more of the disciplinarian. He was always very loving, but very busy. Now, I'm involved in a lot of his ministry, so I'm right there with him. I feel God is father and mother, well for me God is papi y mami. Mami's birthday is two days before mine - she always said I was her birthday gift from God and from papi - I thank Heavenly Mami/Papi God for giving me earthly mami and papi!
