THE WALK WITH DAD

Maddy took a lovely walk with her dad the other night. It was a bit unusual for him to have the free time, so Maddy was delirious as they set off.

They petted the pets, climbed on the rocks and circled our beautiful neighborhood pond. They saw tadpoles and skipped rocks. Then a well-timed shower brought them home just a little bit wet, but chattering and happy.

“Everything was good, Mom,” Maddy said. “There were no bears.”

Prayer request: We are grateful for our 4-year-old’s healthy fears, Lord. They protect her. We are glad that she is aware and concerned. Thanks, too, for her Dad, who would have taken care of those ol’ bears if they came around, anyway. (1 John 4:18)
