Daddy

I'll admit...I'm a Daddy's girl and being all the way across the continent has been hard. I miss our dates together...the hours spent building and remodeling. Fixing tractors and splitting wood. I miss our heart to heart talks and the times we would just spend snuggling. I miss his protective arm around me and sometimes I just crave for a big Daddy hug... 
Today, the separation ends...a least for a few days. I'm so excited! I'll get a real Daddy hug at last! All the months apart have only made reunion the more sweet. 

And then me thought...
I'm a privileged girl! I have not one, but two Daddys! Both have been here from before my birth...leading me, guiding me, directing me, loving me. Both have gently called to my heart asking for my trust and companionship. Both have been there whenever I needed them. Both have given me safety and security and allowed me to rest in their arms. If I am this excited to see my earthly Daddy from whom I've only been months apart...how excited should I be about the news that soon the separation from my Heavenly Father will be over! That soon after a lifetime of apartness I will be able to see him face to face...


And so once again, I've determined to be faithful to the end. That one day I may see his smile upon me, one day receive an embrace. And the years of separation will only make the joy of reunion all the sweeter!
