Something this girl has shown me is the wonder of good self esteem.
One day here she donned a cheap sparkly tutu over what she was wearing
and went up to my full length mirror.
I happened to see her from the hallway,
smiling at her reflection, quietly saying to herself, "beautiful!"
And off she went.
The picture is a priceless moment I don't have a virtual photo of,
but a moment that spoke to me of how wonderful
if we could all see ourselves just like that.
Beautiful!
On a random day this week, she invited herself for dinner.
She even offered to help make it!
Who could refuse?
"Papa will be 'prised I is here," she said with delight.
At the dinner table she is first to offer to say the prayer -
with confidence, asking God for whatever is on her heart
right then and there, with thanksgiving.
Simple, sweet and bold,
No matter whom she talks to.

Such a prize she is!

This speaks to my heart today, in a profound way. Children have often helped me see the true, raw beauty and spontaneous fun by their transparency.
I wish I could be like her... She's a keeper!
Beautiful - inside and out!
