Have you ever heard the song "My Wish"?



 

So lately one of my wife and I's favorite activities in our home is to turn on some music with a good beat and just dance.  Our little girl Savannah absolutely love's dancing and i'm telling you this little girl can "cut a rug"!  This morning I spent some extra time with the girls before leaving for work. I don't get this opportunity often so this morning I wanted to get the day started off right.  I turned on some music and we had a blast.  Before the party ended I threw on a slow jam and the three of us put our arms around each other and danced.  Alisha and I held Savvy between us.  I don't remember the song that we danced to but that didn't matter, because I was focused on holding on to and dancing with the two biggest Blessings and Miracles in my life.  I found myself fighting back tears because of the love that I feel for these two amazing girls.  Usually when Savvy dances with me during slow songs she will cuddle up on my shoulder with her arms around my neck, and by the end of the song she didn't let me down and was doing just that.  She is only 18 months so I still have the opportunity to pick her up and hold her close....when she let's me;) and I absolutely cherish these moments and know that they unfortunately won't last forever.  

As the day went on I found myself thinking back to our dance party in the morning, and I felt so much gratitude to my Father in Heaven for bringing Alisha and Savannah into my life.  Out of nowhere the song "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts popped into my mind.  Whenever I hear this song I think of my Father Kim Gregson who passed away from Brain Cancer back in 2008.  If my Dad could tell his Wife, kids, and grandkids anything I think it would be very similar to the lyrics of this song.  I felt him close today and I am certain he is still a bigger part of my life than I realize.  My Wish for Alisha and Savvy is that I can somehow help them to have happiness in their lives here on earth just like my dad has done for me.  There is nothing that I want more in my life than to take care of them and help them on their journey.  

Because of the Love that I feel for Alisha and Savannah,  I believe that I am beginning to understand a tiny bit more how Heavenly Father feels about all of us.  I am not concerned about me anymore, and have never been happier.  I thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me to go through the good and the bad to learn how involved He really is and how much He truly does love each and every one of us.  I hope I can show Him my love and gratitude for Him by the way that I choose to live my life!  Today this is my Purpose!
