Words of Wisdom...for mamas of daughters

I stole borrowed the words of wisdom below from a friend's Facebook post. (Thanks, Julie!!) They were just too good not to share.


We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between...

a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her

a man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her

a man who views her as property and a man who views her properly

a man who lusts after her and a man who loves her

a man who believes he is God's gift to women and a man who remembers a woman was God's gift to man.

three

Dear sweet Olivia,

Happy birthday, precious girl! It seems like just yesterday you were a tiny bundle of pink nestled in my arms. And now here you are...a little girl with a head of curls who loves her baby dolls, mommy's lipstick and your "boys", Joshua and Evan. 

At 3, you enjoy singing, reading books, playing outside and making your family laugh. Sister Bear is your beloved companion...never out of reach. You are a girly girl who has no trouble keeping up with your big brothers. You have an impressive vocabulary and you love to strike up a conversation...with anyone...and everyone. And your oh-so-adorable lisp makes everything you say that much cuter!

I love you! I am so blessed to be your mother.

I pray that God protects you, guides you and uses you. Most of all, I pray that you fall head-over-heels, passionately in love with your Creator and Savior. May He be your first love and the keeper of your heart!

Hugs and kisses,
Mommy

Welcome to the world, love.

Nine weeks old...we're having lots of fun with dresses and bows.

You're one...showing us that girls can be clone troopers too!

And that you'll be mommy's biggest mess maker!

Look who's two...and crazy about Dora the Explorer.

You never shy away from the camera. Cheesthe!!

And you develop a love for purses and pigtails.

Almost three...you adore your cousin Kendall.

The Big 3! Time to blow out your candles.

Beautiful girl.

New Friend

Mrs. S will soon celebrate her 101st birthday. After reading our story in the local newspaper, she called me and offered to make a dress for Olivia.

The dress is beautiful! We treasure it...and our precious new friend!
