This scene touched me. As I thought of my Heavenly Father—I realized I hadn’t sat on His lap in some time. My prayer time was more like talking to a person in the other room than close lap sitting. As I prayed, I pictured myself excitedly coming into His presence and being welcomed onto His lap. Then I curled up into Him and laid my head on His chest so I could hear His heart beat. As I snuggled in, I began to talk. Quietly I shared my thoughts and desires. Any distance was erased by the sense of My Savior hugging me. When it was time to move on, I sighed, “Ah, thank you Daddy.”
A curly haired four year old entered the room. When she spotted her father she quickly bounded over to him to rapidly climb up onto his lap. He responded by cupping his body to welcome her. His arms wrapped around to blanket her and his head tipped down to kiss the top of his precious daughter’s head. Immediately the cutie told her Daddy of the recent adventure she had. They were close, so she nearly whispered, although her excitement caused her voice to rise now and then.
