Stuck


Tonight as we were getting supper ready for what is becoming our traditional Friday family night of dinner and a movie time, Ellie stopped me by the fridge and asked:

Ellie: Daddy, do we stick together?
Me: Yes, Ellie we stick together!
Ellie: Do we stick together with Mommy and Reni?
Me: Yes we stick with Mommy and Reni too!
Ellie: Do we stick together as a family forever?
Me: We stick together forever, Ellie!
Ellie: Let’s have a group hug!

By this time, Cydil had entered the doorway holding Reni, and I lifted Els for our group hug.  Ellie wrapped an arm around each of our necks and we squeezed our family of four into the tightest ball we could muster.

Oh how wonderful that hug felt!  I am so thankful that God has stuck our family together!  Ellie was at one time stuck in a crib without hope, trapped behind bars of wood.  But now she is stuck to her daddy!
