Precious relationships

There are several relationships that I look at and think they are priceless. One of these is Charly and her daddy. She loves him so much, and when he walks in the door her grin expands from ear to ear. I pray that she will continue to look at her daddy as a hero, a protector, a joy to be around, a person of great value, and someone who loves her unconditionally. And I pray that she will be able to see that her heavenly Father loves her the same way, but even better (if that can even be imagined). What a sweet thing to see her run into her daddy's arms, and for her to call out to him when she needs him.


And the other relationship I'm thinking about tonight is Cobb and Abby. They've been friends since birth(15 days apart), took their first outing together, and grew up to be fast friends of 5 years. They are both about to enter into new and different worlds. Abby will start Kn in Lake Highlands in one week (I can't believe it!), and Cobb will start a transitional Kn program in Allen, playing soccer, and making new friends. I believe this bond they have will continue even though their little lives will not cross paths near as much as before. It is such a sweet bond of friendship that we as parents are so grateful for.
