I remember going to clean the garage to prepare the wall for painting. My daughter followed me.
She was full of energy and wanted to draw on the floor - why not.
As reported: Fakta.today
But then she said, "I'm so happy that you became my mother."
I never thought I would have philosophical conversations with a three-year-old in a dusty garage. I wished for it, but not at the age of three.
But my daughter didn't stop there. She looked into my soul and expressed it even more profoundly, "God made you my mother, and I'm glad I got you."
I wanted to cry from the beauty of the moment, from the feeling of divine love.
I felt tears welling up in my eyes, and suddenly, the girl started praying, even though we didn't practice it often at home.
"Lord, thank you for choosing my favorite mommy for me. Thank you for cooking delicious breakfasts and helping us bake pumpkin muffins today.
Please help us make them perfectly..." Then she said something unintelligible...
I was in awe, and my daughter suddenly opened her eyes and started drawing as if nothing happened.
I couldn't comprehend how a three-year-old could understand the importance of gratitude. It took my breath away, and I cautiously asked who taught her these thoughts.
In the past, we had to persuade her to pray with us, even promising her sweets, but she always refused.
It turns out that her refusal to express her feelings aloud didn't mean she lacked gratitude and couldn't love.
In her mind, she already had a concept of gratitude and love, and it wasn't just about material things like gifts or hugs.
"My dear, thank you! Every day, I rejoice that the Lord sent you as my daughter."
I wanted to embrace her, but my hands were covered in paint, and it wasn't appropriate to rummage through garbage in the garage.
Then I heard a question from my daughter, "Mommy, did you wait for me for a long time?"
"Of course, my love. I prayed to God for a long time to give me a child.
But He didn't agree for a while. But how happy your father and I were when you finally came!" I told her.
"Do you know why God didn't agree for so long? He was creating me at that moment."
I looked at my daughter and understood: she is beautiful, like a true creation of God.
She is perfect, like the perfect light shining through her radiant hair, the perfect lakes in her blue eyes, her ability to smile.
Yes, this child was undoubtedly created by the Lord, where else could she come from?
I often told her this story as a bedtime tale. My daughter has grown up now and still remembers it.
Don't be angry at God if you don't have children, don't blame Him...
He creates your child and maybe even your destiny. It's unknown how a child will appear in your life, it may be born to you, or you may have to adopt.
But it will be God's creation, that little one.
Just wait and see.
