This day can be bittersweet for many reasons. One being that experiencing the “Father’s” Love may not have happened to one early in life. For me, it was foreign to have a man love me for me, and moreover to KNOW that I am loved all the time. No question!
Experiencing the FATHER’S love was made real for me as I got older when I understood who God is. I knew He existed, but to experience His immense, deep love for me? Huh…nope. Not sure what that meant. Now I do, but it has taken years.
Fast forward to now. God has completely redeemed my childhood by giving me a second chance through Tatum. She gets to experience an earthly father who absolutely adores her and would sacrifice anything for her. Much like the FATHER’s Love. Sacrifice is one way he shows love to Tatum, but also in spending time with her. Just time. No agenda. Just being. And when she is with him, she has no doubt that he will protect her, guide her, and fight a lion for her!
This is redemption for my life. I get to be a mom watching my girl be loved. Ah, yes.
And I get to see it through cool new glasses! HEE!
New eyes. New life.
Or these!…….God gives us many ways to see the blessings. We just need to
LOOOOOOOOK! I love you, Doug Hay.
We also enjoyed celebrating with MAMA. She made him feel like SUPERMAN, which he really is. XXOO
