The Feelings of a Child

My 7-year-old daughter Elysia was having a conversation with my 8 year old
son Jeffrey about how she misses her father living with her, especially at night.
She wants Him to be there in the morning as well as at night. “Is Daddy
coming home tonight mom?” I said, no Lisa Daddy doesn’t live here
anymore. There was more Conversation, but what made it really sad for me,
is when my son said, “Mommy, if Dad doesn’t come back to live with us, I’m
going to feel like I’m split in two.” I felt so sad for him. I told him that we all have to continue to pray for his dad, that God will change his heart. God has blessed him with a talent that is ‘Heavenly’ and the enemy wants to take it all away. The enemy is out to destroy the home first; we must continue to pray daily and let God fight the battles. Their father says that he hasn’t left them because he still participates in their life and comes to see them and he still pays the bills; so, that’s enough. It’s enough for him, apparently, but not for his kids.
Please invite your male brother, cousin, or friend to read this and know,
even if you still see your kids regularly and buy them things, its no substitute for

being there, none at all.
