I love the way you tied a father's love for his daughter and her beloved doll to our Lord's love for us and His message contained in His Word! Thank you so much for the reminder that Jesus has written "I love you" on our hearts. His love is greater than eternity.
And I thoroughly enjoyed learning the history of Raggedy Ann. I had one as a child. This makes me want to buy one for my grand daughters:)
Hi Sherry, I had the same thoughts - I need to get a Raggedy Ann for each of my granddaughters. More importantly, I need to insure they each know God's love and keep it written on their hearts!!! :)
Erma, oh how you touched my heart with your beautiful message. I can so clearly remember my little orphan Annie doll and how I loved her as a child! She reminded me of how marvelous it was to be a part of a Christian family with a loving mom and dad, older sister, and younger brother. My dad told me that when she came to live with us she was no longer an orphan because we shared God's love with her as if she was real. What wonderful childhood memories you stirred up for me. At 81, I have survived all of my treasured family members who have already gone to heaven. I would love to still have that little doll today! Thank you for your delightful, encouraging, and inspiring message. Amen! ❤ j @ Heart"wings"
Ah, Joyce, thank you for blessing me with your comment! I love that we'll soon be reunited with treasured family and friends -- and to think God calls us His treasure! We are blessed beyond measure!!! <3
I had no idea what Raggedy Ann's background was but I loved that her creator made sure she said I Love You to each owner!!! Exactly what God does with us!! Thanks for stopping by, Gwen!! <3
