I had an "AHA" moment in the van today!!
Bella was crying because Jonathan told her that her picture was ugly. She colored outside of the lines, and that was ugly. I told her it was beautiful anyways! He kept on saying it was ugly...she kept crying, "MOOOOOMMMMY, he says it's ugly"
Finally I said, "Your picture is beautiful because I said it was beautiful, and I'm the mommy, so when mommy says 'it's beautiful' then that's all that matters! No matter what he says, it's beautiful!" She stopped crying, and he stopped aggravating!

My "AHA" moment??
It's kinda like God!
No matter what the world tells me,
I am beautiful!
No matter what I see in the mirror,
I am beautiful.
God created me in HIS image... He is completely beautiful, therefore, I am completely beautiful!!
I am fearfully and wonderfully made in His image...
HE says that I am beautiful...
so when my "daddy" says that I am beautiful,
then that's all that matters!
YES! BECAUSE I SAID SO!
ReplyDeleteLove it. No matter what anyone else says, only what God says matters!
I'm going to tell my kids this!
