A Sweet Note

 

My oldest (being my husband) and my youngest (my daughter) had to leave tonight to go to see my husband’s father in the hospital.  They will be gone a few nights.

I always get a little weepy when any of my family members leave even if its just for a short while.  I miss them when they are gone…especially at bedtime.

Tonight when I was going to bed, I saw what my little girl had left for me lying on my pillow. 

This is Pinky…

Pinky was holding a note that I was supposed to read at bedtime. 

I have to share what it said because it means so much to me.

It says…

Mommy:  Remember to look on your bedside table and to remember that I Faith am always here for you!!!!

(on the bedside table was this photo that Faith put there)

The rest of the note says…

Help yourself to remember that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.  I love you.

From Faith

What a sweet message from my little one.  The wonderful thing about this note is that every night when Faith and I pray, we pray this verse from the Bible.  We also pray that with God all things are possible.

We won’t be together tonight to pray, but we both get it.  We both understand that it is through Christ that we can do anything and that in just a couple of days, we will be saying prayers together again, side by side.
