My little dolls will be in their first dance recital on Sunday. I danced for over 13 years growing up and this is a dream for a dance mom! We had a dress rehearsal last week and I put real makeup on them for the first time. I wouldn’t let them look in the mirror until I was finished. When they first saw themselves, their reaction was priceless.
A smile so huge enveloped their little faces. They were beaming.
They felt so beautiful, and in fact they are!
They were content.
I pray that the precious little loves of mine will always be confident in who God has uniquely made them to be. I pray that they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. I pray that no matter what insults the world hurls at them, they will always find their worth in the one that created them. I pray that when they look in the mirror, makeup or not, they see the masterpiece of God.
What a beautiful legacy of self acceptance and how God sees us as women to pass on to your daughters. I'm tearing up.
ReplyDeleteOh your girls are beautiful! Such a lovely way to capture their firsts like this. More importantly, I appreciate what your prayers for them are. As a mom to two little girls, this resonates deeply with me.
