Overheard

This morning I overheard Abby talking to herself in the bathroom as she was looking in the mirror. She was saying to herself, "You are just too cute! You look adorable today!" Is she a riot or what? It's my prayer that Abby will always feel that way about herself. That when she's 13, or 18 or 21 that she will still think she's beautiful and that she will always know that she is "fearfully and wonderfully made" in the image of God!
Jesus,
Hold this precious girl close to your heart as she continues to grow in your image. May she always have confidence in herself and see the beauty that you've created in her. Ground her life in your truth so that she'll never believe the lies that this world will try to tell. Guide and protect her all the days of her life. Fill her with love, joy, peace, patience and kindness so that she will be a blessing to all who know her!
Amen

Amen. I pray some version of that prayer every day and your prayer brought tears to my eyes. It simply reminded me that I am not the only one who thinks about these things and prays for these things for my children. Thank you for being such a wonderful aunt.
