My Daddy spent many hours working on a special project for me. Most of the work he did for me while I was still in Mommy’s tummy. He built me a beautiful walnut sleigh crib. I am so thankful that my Daddy built me my bed. It is so nice to wake up every morning to see the beautiful gift my Daddy has given me. For the past couple months Daddy has been building another crib. No, I am not going to have a brother or sister (although that would be fun), but rather I am going to have my very first cousin! Daddy’s brother and sister in law are expecting a baby boy any day now. My daddy has spent many hours in the basement working on this new crib for my soon to be cousin Talon.
Daddy told me recently that he has been unable to work on the crib as much as he would like because his shop is right under my room. Since Mommy puts me to bed around 8:00, Daddy can’t spend his evenings working on the crib like he did on mine. Daddy told me that the adjustments that he and mommy have had to make since I came along are well worth it. Every day my parents tell me how much they love me and I return it by smiling at them with my biggest smile I can make and give a few giggles. The reason I am telling you all of this is because of my other Daddy. I have two Fathers, an earthly father and a Heavenly Father. My earthly father provides me a place to sleep. My heavenly Father not only provides me a place to sleep but also provides me with all that I need. My parents give me the necessities: shelter, food, drink, diapers, clothes, and toys, and most importantly love. My Heavenly Father has given me my parents, which have given me my shelter, food, drink, diapers, clothes, toys, and love. But He also gives me His love. His love is much bigger than my parents love for me. He loves me so much that He actually has given His Son for me. He sent His son to die on the cross so that one day I can be with Him in Heaven for eternity. As I said earlier, my parents love me so much that they pray over me each night that one day I can understand better what I am writing here and that I can have a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. That is how I know my parents love me. They could buy things for me all the time, but their true love for me is shown through their desire to see me grow up as a man of God. I am thankful for them, which is why I smile and giggle whenever I see them.
