My daughter Miranda turns 7 years-old today.
When I look at this photo of her (taken by LaNola Kathleen Stone), I can't help but be grateful.
For when I observe Miranda, and most young girls (remember Connie Talbot), I feel as if I am watching Rachel.
Miranda relishes being a girl.
She is generous.
She is compassionate.
AND
She is capable and confident.
Most little girls know they are Rachel, but then we forget.
As we invite them into our world, we can re-learn this truth.
Thank heaven for little Rachels.
Your daughter is just darling. My granddaughter that I spend so much time with is 10 now. I miss seven!
Yes I wrote the poem at the end of the blog. Santa Fe is so unusual and wonderful.
Thank you for your encouragement.
