I saw a Peanuts comic strip recently.  Snoopy is sitting next to one of the girls, and the girl tells him, “My Dad is a better hunter than your Dad!”  She walks away with a big grin on her face.  Snoopy looks after her and thinks, “My Dad gets fuzzier in the winter than your Dad!”

Many kids (and apparently dogs) think and want others to know that their Dad is the greatest.  Their Dad is the strongest.  Their Dad is the smartest.  Their Dad is the best.

As God’s children, we know and want everyone else to know that our Father is the strongest, the smartest, the best.  We want everyone to honor our great Father.  And so we pray, “Hallowed by your name.”
