What an honor.

After working all day today I got home to shouts of "Mommy" and a giggling toddler. What wonderful sounds. I ate a quick PB & J and then it was bath time. We made bubbles and scrubbed and then put on pj's. Then Avery said "I want to blue my hair with the blue dryer." I was suprised (this isn't a usual request) and tried to change her mind, but she would have it no other way. So off we went to Mommy's bathroom so we could "blue" her hair. She sat on the bathroom counter and we played beauty salon. She looked at all my makeup and hair stuff and stared at herself in the mirror. However, it struck me as I played with her hair. The only place she has seen a blow dryer is with me. In her sweet little girl, I want to be like my Mommy way, she wanted to "blue" her hair because that's what I do. WOW! What an honor and a priviledge that at least today my little girl wants to be like me, and that is shaping who she will become. What does she see? What will she remember? I pray daily that she sees Jesus.

Please Lord, help me to be You in her eyes. When she's all grown up, and looking back please let her know how much I love her and how much I love You, and let her love You too.
