My dh and ds had a guys day out today. So, my dd and I took the same opportunity. She had already planned last night to wear a pink shirt, brown skirt with her pink cowboy boots. This morning she asked me if I could match her. I had the pink shirt, but only a brown pair of dress pants. So, joining in with my daughter in her excitement, we went out as twins. At her request, we went to a pet store and to the mall food court to eat. She asked if she could ride the carrousel. I said, "Yes!" Then she asked if we could buy a treat. We bought a cookie sandwich (filled with frosting, Yum...) Then we went in Old Navy and I found a cute, modest black skirt on clearance. I got so much pleasure blessing my daughter with all these things. Is this how my Father sees me? Does He long to bless me?
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 7:9-11 says, "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him a snake? If you then though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!"
Thanks you Lord, for how much you love me and want to be with me and bless me, like I love my children and want to bless them.
