Dear Daddy-11

April 26, 2021

Dear Daddy, 

Tomorrow is Payton's birthday and get ready she would want a Jelly Donut.  12.  Can you believe she is 12.  Legally she can now sit in the front seat, but weight wise she is still lite.  She is doing better but I think that she is still adjusting to everything.  We are still having a gathering at the house with family for hotdogs, cake and ice cream.  Again, who is going to eat the extra ice cream?  Momma.. yeah right.  I got you on the burnt hot dog weenies! 

I have always loved this picture.  I have it several places, but I now know why I love it.  Yes, it's you and me and the white bear in the rocking chair, but I now know how you felt.  Tired! haha No... I realized that this is often times me and Knox or Neal.  I am sitting in the recliner, with my boy on the left and we are both asleep.  The calm and relaxation in the moment of holding your child as they have relaxed and rested in your arms.  They are at peace and you rest too.  I get the BEST sleep when I call asleep in the recliner, because I know that my kid is okay too. 

So... I just like to think God is like that too.  When his child crawls up in his lap and finally rests.  The rest  and security in God's arms that the child gets and the rest He feels as He holds His child.  I like to think at that moment maybe God rests too.  I know that He is always working, but he too rested on the 7th day. 

Where is the bear?  I have snoopy in the red chair, where is the white bear?  Maybe at Mommas. 

OH. Momma called her cell phone from the house phone and almost answered the cell phone wondering who was calling.  How many jokes do you have for that?  :) 

Be Particular, 

Me.
