Yesterday, Chloe and I were driving home. She said "What do you think my dad (Phillip) would think if he met dad (Dan)? That would be weird wouldn't it?" Where was I suppose to go with this one?
I responded, "When they do meet, in heaven, I bet your dad will say thank you. He knew that he wasn't going to be around to raise you and he wanted you to have people in your life who loved you. He would be happy that Dan made the choice to be your dad here on earth since he couldn't. And I know that your dad is watching you grow up and he is so proud of who you are becoming."
Sometimes it saddens me to know that they have to wonder these things and process through so many difficult things. Yet, I know that God has a plan and that He works all things together for good! And I'm so thankful that He is working in my children's lives and that they have so many people who love them.
I too, get these kinds of questions...Honestly, I am glad to have opportunity to share the Word (that we truly live by) with my children... they have a "living" example to put the scriptures to actual use at a young age...Makes me wonder about their grownup testimony!!
