This picture was drawn by my 7 year old godchild in 1998. When he was small he adored me then. He would tell me how pretty I was –besides his mom. LOL! He calls me Nana. I spent a lot of time with him while he was growing up. I stressed academics and salvation to him. In this picture, he just wanted to tell me that he loved me in his own little special way. He drew a picture of God with angel hearts protecting Him. Then he was big on monsters and giants. He would say to me I am the smallest kid in my class but I can fight any giant. He even wrote his phone number for me to remember to call him. I really love this little drawing because it represents the pure innocent love of a child. (Just for kicks, I take this picture out and show to his girlfriends.)
That is so touching to have a godchild. I know how you fill about that. Because I had a step- child I raise when she was 3 years old. She drew me pictures all the time and now she still draw me picture and she is in the 6th grade now doing the same. She tell me I am her mom.
ReplyDeleteChiquela,
ReplyDeleteChildren are a gift from God. They make us smile even when we don't want to. Treasure all children especially the ones who you impact the most.
