The feeling of walking into a room buzzing with the excited energy of small children.
The leap of your heart as a human blur dashes towards you just seconds after you enter the room.
The pleasant burn of your muscles as you swing her up into the safety of your arms.
The perpetual beam that lights up your face as you gaze into the big brown eyes that reflect unconditional love right back at you.
The unbridled star burst of laughter that springs from her heart and through her mouth onto the thirsty ears of those within hearing distance.
The twinge of disappointment when you realize that you’re living the final moments of your time together.
The noticeable tightening of her grip as she also realizes this when you attempt to return her to her place separate from you.
The lingering of your footsteps as you slowly shuffle out of the heaven you fortunately wandered into earlier that day.
These are the memories and the indescribable feeling of being needed by another human being.
This is the realization that I experienced only a fraction of how my Heavenly Father feels every time I cling to Him with the love and awe He so desires from me.
Below is a photo of myself and Angie, the beautiful little wonder that I just wrote about – Angie has autism. After spending most of her life in an orphanage, she has finally been put into a foster home where she will receive the love she deserves and needs. Please keep Angie and the other children at this disability daycare in your prayers, as well as the staff there!
