I just saw a part of an amazing movie today – the title was Hachiko. A story of dog named Hachiko, who loved his master so much.
For years his master and Hachiko would spend time everyday, playing around their small backyard and just having fun. And while his master would go to work, Hachiko would accompany him to train station. After that Hachiko would entire day in front of the main entrance of the train station until his master would get back.
After a few years Hachiko’s master died due to a sudden heart attack. Hachiko was adapted by his master’s daughter and brought to a much farther area. But Hachiko’s yearning for his master would not stop. So Hachiko would escape and go back to wait for his master in front of the train station.
Everyday Hachiko would wait for his master wait unwavering expectations. No rain, snow, or storm could stop Hachiko from waiting for his master. As long as Hachiko could hear the sound of a coming train, he’d wait there with excitement and love.
From time to time, the people who knew his master would give him food and water. Hachiko waited for 10 years until he was finally taken to dog heaven. This story happen a long time ago in Obate, Japan. There now stands a statue of the dog Hachiko in front of north Obate train station, as symbol of the great loyalty and love of Hachiko for his master.
Daddy, the movie that I saw today reminded me of your faithfulness and love. Until the very last day of our lives, you will be waiting for us. Your invitation of love will always be there, and you continue to wait with excitement and love.
For everyone on earth, you will be patiently waiting Father until they say yes to your invitation. As for me and my house, bless us that we may continue to be vigilant in saying yes to you in every single second of our lives.
This I all ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.
Amen.
