Daddy Issues: Atom

He loved her when she could do nothing for herself

His love expressed while coaching her, by his sure but tender hand, to get back in the game

He loved her when she believed she could do everything for herself

His love expressed in the knowingness of his gaze as she feverishly designed a blue print for her life, spanning 30 years.

He loved her when she realized some things in life cannot be planned;

Her heart was wounded for the first time

His love expressed in the gentle way he pulled her close, shielding her in his own way from the fiery darts of life aimed at his little girls heart.

He loved her when he watched her bring life into the world

His love expressed in the way he stood in the wings while this new life was welcomed into her own daddy’s arms.

He especially loved her when he awoke from his slumber and realized he’d never been any of those things to her...

His love expressed by the daily prayers he continually offered up as a holy sacrifice, on her behalf, for the rest of his years.

He committed himself in the only way he knew, by leaning on the One who had loved and protected her always...

“His grace is sufficient”
