Recently Gracie was celebrating Gabby's fifth birthday with the family. She saw that Gabby had opened a gift with a pretty little baby doll and being a little girl who loves baby dolls as much as any little girl. She ran over to pick up the baby to play with it before Gabby had a chance to look at it. Daddy and Mommy told her it is Gabby's baby doll.
The dissapointment from her understanding spread across her face and a pouty lip came out. Daddy held out his arms and she ran over to burry her face in Daddy's chest. Then the sobs and big tears flowed. Daddy wrapped his arms around her little body and kissed her on the head to consol her dissapointment and calmed her.
As an adult we often times take for granted what it feels like to have arms to run to and burry our head and cry freelly when we are hurt, discouraged, and disspointed with life's circumstances. My beautiful little girl needed to be loved on and know that Daddy was there to hold her close and make everything ok. I need the same thing. Unfortunately there aren't many arms big enough to wrap around me as I cry.
Scripture tells us to cast our cares on Him (Christ). This is picture above will be a constant reminder to me that when I am down and just need to cry that I can run to Christ and burry my face in his chest with his warm and caring arms around me and cry. He will make it all ok.
Gracie knows that Daddy would take all her pain away if it were possible. But she also knows that Daddy can make her feel better. There is no difference with the Heavenly Father. Jesus is Always there, never dropps the ball, and has big enough arms for the biggest of us.
Blessings, and Happy New Year
Mike III, AKA: Big Daddy
