You're in for a treat with my guest blogger, Nan Jones, today! When I first met Nan at a Christian Devotions writers’
conference several years ago, I immediately sensed the fragrance of her
love for Christ.Over the years, I’ve watched Nan consistently cling to that
love and put her faith into action.
She is an author/speaker who “uses the words of her heart to assist
fellow Christians in discovering the Presence of God in their darkest hour. Her
devotional blog, Morning Glory, has become a place of community for
Christians to find encouragement in God’s Word and comfort in His
Presence.”
She has been published in several anthologies as well as the
online inspirational sites Christian Devotions, and Inspire a Fire.
Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas will release her debut
book, The Perils of a Pastor’s Wife June 30, 2015. Blessed
to be a beta reader, I can say this book is wonderful. You’ll hear more about
that in an interview I do with Nan later this summer.
Nan also features as a guest blogger on several sites and I’m delighted
to have her guest blogging for me this week
Finding
God's Presence ~ Daddy, I Love You
by Nan Jones
The pitter-patter of tiny feet echoed through the hallway, running gleefully towards her dad.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Daddy sat his briefcase by the door just in time to receive
a leaping toddler into his strong arms. Father and daughter hugged, exchanging
glances that reflected their adoration of one another. Hearts raced. Faces
smiled. Eyes gleamed.
The child relaxed in her daddy's arms. She placed her chubby little cheek next to her father's and quietly whispered, "Daddy ... I love you, daddy."

The one the child had been seeking, she found.
