A Brother's Loving Embrace

Today, in the "A La Carte" section of his fantastic blog, Tim Challies posted the following video of a United States Marine who is serving in Afghanistan surprising his sister by showing up at her college graduation.  Tim asks us to consider the question, "What is it in us that turns on the waterworks when we see something like it?"

I would argue that, similarly to what I suggest here, perhaps it is because it taps into the longing that is implanted in our hearts to one day see our brother, our warrior, our champion face to face, when he returns to take us into his loving embrace.

Check out the video...and keep the tissues handy.
