I have said before that there are certain people who can
bless us in a way that no one else can. Andrew,
as my husband can bless me in a way no one
else can because of the nature of our relationship.
If I miss that blessing for him, it is missed.
it can be a weight or an opportunity and blessing!
I remember a counselor telling me she had a vision
that I could twirl without worry that those influential
voices in my life would not tell me that my slip was showing...
and thus stop the twirling.
My girls. I want them to twirl and I get to just
enjoy them and allow them to see my face brightened
because of them.
Sometimes playing the role of teacher I can get
more in my critique voice. I think I have that voice
also inside my head.
This is an area I want to be aware of and bless
my circle in a way that no one else will have
that unique voice of blessing.
They will helpfully have many blessings heaped
upon their heads in their lifetime but I want mine
to be right in there. And I don't want them to grow
up remembering that they were applauded and
encouraged but there was also a critique that
accompanied my voice in those places.
Gigi's doll Snow White.
I wonder how many times little Virginia
squeezed that doll's head or she brought comfort
to my mom. I love that we have her.
