Mommy Daughter manicure.

How sweet it is to sit a spell.

Little Dove and I had a very special time together. I gave her a full manicure. We spoke of girly things become young woman one day. She asked of reproduction and told how she was not going to mate to have her children. She will be adopting her kids. She wondered of puberty and the changes to occur. We spoke softy of hormones and gaining breasts. I told her how in boys their voices cracked. This fascinated her and we humored in the thought of the boys getting to suffer some of the injustice of puberty too. Being as we were the ones to have to carry breasts around all our lives.
She is so innocent so charming and pure. I see the glory of her beautiy may it never be spoiled. A grand hope I know but it is this mothers wish for her daughter.
Nails dry and a gentle " I love you Momma"
Oh the grandeur's of Motherhood!

What a relief to find that girls weren't the only ones! I think it is wonderful that you and your daughter can have such open communication. Keep up the good work.; July 5, 2007 at 5:30 PM

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
