Today, The Morning Thing talked about the amazing blessing of raising a daughter. We shared great insight from 2 articles found at imom.com
The first one focused on 5 ways to raise a daughter that others admire. Click HERE to read the full article.
Author Lori Clapper has 2 daughters. She shares that one of the main struggles for any girl is self-image. She says that the positive feedback she gives to her girls often falls on deaf ears. Us girls (young and old) too often only focus on the negative feedback we hear or see. So Lori decided to write a letter to her girls about self-image. Moms (and Dads), we hope this heart-felt letter inspires you to have some positive communication with your daughter.
To my lovely daughter,
I see you look at yourself in the mirror and frown. I see you look at the number on the scale and hang your head.
It may be hard for you to believe the words I want to say to you in this letter. That’s okay. Please keep this letter in a safe place so you will always know how your dad and I see you.
God’s fingerprints are all over each part of you. You may not be pleased with the break-outs or the unruly bed head hair. But your eyes were made to see the good – not only in other people – but in yourself. Your mouth, with or without your favorite lip gloss, was given to you to speak words of life.
Throughout life, people and circumstances will hurt you deeply. Friends come and go. But no matter what, you are on this earth for a purpose. It’s your job to rise above adversity and be the remarkable woman we know you are.
When you work hard and with passion, you can do anything you put your mind to, even get that dream job you always wanted.
Push yourself. Always learn. Pursue your dreams with passion. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t.
I’ve seen you form wonderful friendships through high school. You all truly care for one another and have each other’s backs. I’ve even heard you say you love them. It makes my mama’s heart so proud. Continue to surround yourself with great friends. Keep caring deeply, even when it’s hard.
I started too late, but it’s not too late for you. Take care of your body and skin. You’ll never regret that, especially when you turn 45 and you’re one of the few without wrinkles.
There is so much more I could say, but one thing to always remember: love God and love the way He created you. Keep your heart and mind aligned with these things I’ve written. You’ll save yourself a lot of worries and uncertainties that way.
I love you,
Mom
