Waiting...

...for Daddy's homecoming.

A little girl loves her daddy. Multiply that by three and you have a picture of our home. A place where Daddy can do no wrong.

HE is the man in their life.

No harm can happen when you are resting in your father's arms. For on his lap, everything is safe. The world is right.

And there is no fun like that the fun that The Daddy cooks up. He can make you laugh like no other. He has a entertaining way of pushing you to the limits. Stretching your muscles, your mind, your confidence.

He brings out the queen in you.

And so... they wait. Because when HE arrives, they experience a taste of love. And even though they don't know it yet....a taste of God.

I absolutely love this picture. And all that it represents.

I, too, love the heart on the bottom...especially since we don't exactly have outfits like that around here. :)

But most of all, I appreciate the deeper application of this post. Thanks!

Sweet shot! Boy those girlies do love daddy - the boy in this house too. Something about that man coming in the door lights up the house!

THAT pic is priceless. Your post brought tears to my eyes! I have a really soft spot in my heart for little girls and their daddies, mainly because I never experienced that kind of relationship and grew up wanting that for my daughter. I don't know if you have read my blog enough to know that I am divorced from her father- I didn't choose very well, despite my desires for my children to have that fatherly connection. BUT, the GOOD NEWS is that even if we don't experience that kind of relationship with our earthly fathers, we still have a heavenly Father. Daily I am learning what it means to have a "Daddy" who loves me unconditionally, and I remind my daughter of that often. Wow, listen to me go on and on- like I said, you touched a tender spot for me!
