For My Daughter...

I always write about my family and this time I would like to focus on my daughter. My daughter has the biggest heart in the world and the most infectious laugh. We are both alike as some people mistake our kindness for weakness and take advantage of us. However she will not allow this hurt to define who she is. She will smile and deal with the pain and always forgive just as God forgives us. This is where her strength lies...it is in her compassion, tolerance and willingness to forgive.

So Nikki the one thing I know is that when things get a little tough in life is when you have to pray and keep swinging the hardest. Never ever give up on your goals in life...

Here are a few verses from Proverbs 31: on a wife of noble character....

10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

MY baby....keep your eyes on the Lord and keep swinging....

peace and thanks for listening......
