A Father’s Love

A Father’s Love

Little girls love their daddy. Watching Kelsey with Keith this weekend, I was so blessed to see the way her eyes light up when daddy gives her his attention. Little girls need that. 

I know I do. 

I felt my Heavenly Father do that this weekend too. Let me know that He was there. He hadn’t forgotten about me. His eyes were on me. 

I was not alone. 

I found this and thought I would share… I couldn’t have said it better myself!
