Today, Hollyn came home with her letter to Santa. She has been fixated on getting a piano ever since David showed her a Disney one. We will get her one but not the toy one nor a real one but one that teaches you the basis. She also loves stuffed animals and wants a web kins, and wants some tegs (things) to make tegs (things) which translate she wants more stuff for her easy bake oven.
But besides the list of 3 things, she put in her list something that shocked, overwhelmed, and surprised me. On line 7, hidden between wishing Santa a merry Christmas and telling him to have fun, she asked Santa to "cip my dady saf". To keep my daddy safe! It sometimes just breaks my heart that a 6 years old worries about the safety of her father.
But this post is not about whether you do santa or not. Or even about Santa.
It is about a little girl and her wish list!!!!
It is about a little girl who prays every night to God for her father. It is about a little girl who will spend the next 11 months of the next year away from her father. It is about a little girl who tells her mommy that 'the army sees more of her father than we do and it is not fair'. (I agree) It is about a little girl who smiles the biggest smile you have ever seen when she hears her fathers voice. It is about a little girl who hugs a phone when her father calls because she misses him so much.
It is about a little girl who loves her father more than anything that on her wish list she asks Santa to keep him safe.
It is also about a girl who prays every night to her heavenly Father to keep her girls and their father safe. It is about a girl who will spend the next 11 months of the next year and the rest of her life clinging to her heavenly Father who is always with her. It is about a girl who trusts her heavenly Father even when life is unfair. It is about a girl who smiles big when she hears her heavenly Father's voice. It is about a girl who will be hugged by her heavenly Father every time she calls on him. It is about a girl who will ask her heavenly Father to hug her girls and their father whenever they miss each other. It is about a girl who loves her girls' father more than anything, that on her wish list she is asking Jesus to keep him safe.
It is about a little girl and her wish list!!!!
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
