" hope "

 I have found hope in making brownies...


    My sweet Hayden Jade has her own understanding of hope.


" Mommy, mommy, mommy!! Can I have a dip on my finger?" Hayden asked as I poured the brownie mix into the pan. "No, but if you can wait, you'll like what I have for you." I say back. "Oh I hope it's more for me to lick!".. "Hope, eh? .. sooo hope is a good thing?"
Hayden answered.. "Yes."


 My smile is so big and my heart is filled with joy - the hope I have for my daughters comes from Christ. If she has been listening to me speak of hope.. or pray with hope .. then the hope she understands has branched out from the hope I feel and love. This means that no matter the decisions she makes as a young teen into adulthood.. there is always hope for her to get back too the grace and everlasting peace that God has for her.. There He will be waiting.. with hope.. with love and His open arms.    ...  <3 


 A child's hope in the moments of their life, is so full of innocents. No worries, no cares.. only love. 
I'm so thankful for the box of brownie mix .. and the moments I got to share with Hayden. 
  A revelation. Simple but true.


I love you Hayden and the hope you have as a 4 year old. I think God is working wonders in your life and for your future as a Princess of God. I can't wait to encounter the hope you'll have as 14, 24, 34, 44, 54 year old woman. 

 Love,
Mommy J.

ps.. I can't wait to cut into our warm brownies!
