This was a post from a few weeks ago - September 9, 2010.... Just getting around to posting it on my page!!! Enjoy!
What a day! Or what a week should I say! It has been a tough week, nothing has gone as planned, everything has ended up worse than I anticipated, but today while I was home with Haley who had strep throat, the Lord reminded me time and time again that His promises to me are ever present! That His hand never left my side, that His love is endless, and that if I keep my eyes on Him the prize is eternal!
While I was running on my treadmill today, Haley was writing.... She shares my love for writing, it is also an outlet for her, a time to release the constant commotion in her head! ;) She has not seen my blog, had no idea I had also written a letter to God, but here is what I found when I finished running... And I am typing it just like she wrote it!
Dear God
You blessed us with a great blessing that mommy had me and my great sister and you gave Kelly a wonderfull gift a baby girl and you new that was her dream to have a baby and you made our hole
Family so happy, She wated for 12 years, you new just what to do you put the baby in Kelly's belly and you made it a girl. you are the best God we ever had in the world, we love you, your God of the Earth. We praise you we love you very much, your the God of all people. I love my mom my dad my sister. your the Best God. your the God of all Gods!
Love,
Haley
And it was sitting there with tears running down my cheeks that I knew without a doubt she reallys gets it! She has fallen in love with a great big God whom she knows cares about her! And if she "gets it" she will never forget it!
Proverbs 22:6
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
THAT was precious!!! I just love when children write to God. It is wonderful to see their view of Him. Sometimes we as adults need to get back to that!! :)
