What does a young child do when the world around her is
hostile and punitive?
What if she perceives that no one is listening?
What if she discerns that no one really cares?
Anxiety creeps in
It becomes too painful to speak and she turns inward
Inward where the love of God lives
She talks only to Him
He listens
He cares
She grows in His love
As His beloved child
Her young mind ponders His promises
And hangs on tight to His Word
Years pass
She endures many trials
Her faith unflagging
As He walks by her side
He sends her many to love
And is loved in return
She learns to use her voice
To nurture as she was nurtured
By the heavenly Father
Love
Affirmation
Truth
To bury the sins of the earthly father

Wow, Amy! I love this! Just thought I would do some catching up. I went to check out your Christmas blog and you haven't been posting there but I am happy to see I can come here! I am going to try to post a little more on both my blogs, I have been on the neglectful side.
Have a wonderful Easter!
OK, I looked back on what I wrote and I meant I love how you write, you are able to share in special way and get your thoughts across. Life is a continual growing process that's for sure. Take care, Amy.
Thanks for stopping by Cheryl and for your kind words! I am not the most consistent blogger - life has been so very busy lately. I really missed participating in the Christmas fun but it just didn't happen this year. I'm hoping 2013 will be more relaxing!
