Since Chloe was born, I have felt emotions I have never quite felt before. Such simple gestures from her can stir my heart like no other. Today she put her hands together as if she was about to pray when her grandmother said “Heavenly Father…” while looking out the window unintentionally. With excitement, my mom called everyone to witness this moment and Chloe did it over and over again whenever we said, ‘Heavenly Father’. At that moment, I got teary eyed and felt such…joy. I want Chloe to know God and love Him more than anything in this world and I felt like she took the first step towards that. One of the many things I’m thankful to my parents is the fact that they made Christianity and faith in God our priority in life. They helped me to know the Truth and love God since our childhood, which led us to accept Christianity so naturally since a young age. I believe that’s priceless.
This parenting is bringing different light to my walk with the Lord. More and more, I’m realizing that my such simple realization can also bring delight into His heart as well. I’m pretty sure that My Heavenly Father was as pleased looking down at me for being so ecstatic about Chloe’s simple gesture as it was mine.
