A Secure Child


We had a big rain last night. The power went out and it was the first time that it did for any extended period of time that my little girl could remember in her short life so far. After my husband and I assured her that the lights would come back on she was fine. She got her legos out and she went to playing with them. I think I was more afraid that she was. I would hear a pop of thunder and I would jump, I'd look at her and she would be steady putting her lego's together. It is amazing how children can be so secure when they know that Momma and Daddy are close by. I guess it is only that way when you have a child that is happy and truly secure. So many children don't have both parents at home and have no idea what it is like to have a father's love. What makes it so bad is what many mothers don't want a father in the lives of their children. What they fail to realize is that a child needs a father just as much as a child needs a mother.
