As I close out today, I am left thinking about my daughters. Strong, beautiful and smart. I love them with my whole heart. Having a daughter is truly a gift from God.
Another gift from God is my wonderful daughter in love. She, too, is strong, beautiful and smart. I also love her with my whole heart.
In addition, God has gifted me with a granddaughter, and I love her with my whole heart as well. While still young, she has already shown herself to be strong, beautiful and smart.
Many years ago, God gifted me with two temporary daughters. I don’t know where they are today, but I’m betting that they are strong, beautiful and smart. And for all time I will love them with my whole heart.
But perhaps the biggest gift of all was being a daughter. I was taught early on, by example more than by words, what it meant to be strong, beautiful and smart. I knew what it was like to be loved with my mom’s whole heart.
