Every year in third grade the students receive a Bible from the school that is presented from their parents. Each parent writes a special note to their child in the front of the Bible and prays over their child during the chapel service. I praise God for the blessing that has been to my girls. They each have a handwritten note from their father to them specifically noting who they are in his eyes, how much he loves them and his desire to have them know and love the Lord. This is a gift that is irreplaceable. It honestly scares me that they keep it all day at school since it the greatest treasure they have, and yet I love that they can open their Bible at school any time and read the love both their Heavenly Father and daddy had for them in their Words.
In the same way, my heart breaks that Caleb does not have that. He has no special note written to him. He was loved, but oh how I wish I had something for Caleb that would be written just for him from his daddy. Please go home and write a note to your child telling them how much you love them, what you see in them, what you pray for them. They need those notes. No one ever knows how much a note from you to your child may mean to them one day. I do know for my girls it is the greatest treasure their daddy left.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God. 1 John 3:!
