My Sweet Girls:
Tonight, we were having pizza at your favorite pizza place--Pizza Hut. I watched as the two of you were doing silly little dances. Then, again, at bedtime, we were being so silly in your bedroom flailing our arms about carelessly and giggling. Oh what joy you bring to your Mother!
See, times have been a little hard for us these past few weeks. Mama hasn't felt her best lately, but you can always bring a smile to my face! When I pray for you, I always ask that you never walk the road I have nor take the paths I've taken mostly out of rebellion, and some just by mere lack of wisdom. You will face many temptations in life. Run from them! Flee, even! It is my desire that you walk as Jesus did with such love and compassion for people and never taking your eyes off of the Father. Then, my daughters, you will not stumble. If you do fall, be sure you always fall forward and never look back. God has many wonderful things in store for you!
Later, after you were sound asleep in your room, I began to think about how blessed I am to have you. God gave you both to me at my lowest point. He gave you to me when there were so many other more deserving women who have longed to have babies and couldn't. I am blessed that God saw fit to give you to me, who at the time was so unfit to be anything, most especially a mother. YOU have been like little life preservers. You were the emergency life paddles who brought me back from certain death.
I pray that you always see the good in everything as you do now. I pray that you don't ever lose your contagious smiles and your intoxicating laughter. Most importantly, I pray that I will always be a Godly mother, an example after which you will forever feel proud to pattern your life.
More importantly, I pray you always know how beautiful, how precious you are, and much joy you bring not only to me, but also to those you have met and will meet along the way. The Bible tells us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." May you always have the life you are so deserving of and that life is one of a princess, of royalty. For you see, you are the daughters of a king--The King of Kings! The Creator of Heaven and earth! God's very best for you both and nothing less be unto you!
I love you with all of my heart :)
