little ehiley sits with tears streaming down her face. the tears make clean streaks down her dirty face. she always comes back dirty from playing in the woods. the scabs on her knees have not yet healed. her blue-green eyes search His face, finding the sympathy and love He always has for her.
"Daddy, they hurt me! they were mean to me and they hurt me and it's not fair!!"
her Father gathers her in His arms...
"Shhh, dear one. I know, I'm sorry you are hurt, it's okay. Shhh. Cry sweetheart, it's okay"
"Daddy, will you get them back for me?"
"If you ask me to, I will."
"Okay."
"Do you want me to?"
"no..."
"What do you want then?"
her voice is muffled as she buries her face in His arm. His sleeve is wet from her tears. quietly she mumbles, "a kitten..."
