I love evenings where we are not in a rush and Hans and Natalie have time to play while I clean up after dinner. Tonight was one of those nights. At one point Hans was hiding from Natalie. She found him and then decided she was going to hide. I peeked into the living room to see her "hiding" in front of the toy box. The expectation on her little face was delightful. Hans and I couldn't help but to laugh.
My own relationship with my Dad has taught me so much about my heavenly Father, but watching my husband and my little girl brings a whole new perspective. I love it, and it challenges me - the joy I see in both of their faces as they play together, the pure trust that Natalie has in her Daddy, the awe he holds in her eyes, the patience Hans shows in teaching his little girl new things. I have so much to learn, and I am so blessed by these two delightful people and by my heavenly Daddy.
I loved reading this. Such a good insight. I also love when we have nothing to do in the evenings, but be home and be family. Ahhh
