{Lessons From An 8 Year Old Girly}

Me and PG • Love her big, Oh my I do!

The Lord is my shepherd
I have all I need (and so much more)
He lets me rest in green meadows
He leads me beside peaceful streams
He renews my strength
Psalm 23: 2-3

My niece (AKA: My Lulupie) showed me this verse last night in action as 
I watched in her this calmness and ability to find great smiles. 
Her laughter could not help but be rubbed a little off on everyone that surrounded her.

Her life is colorful both in challenges, heartbreak and smiles.
However, she sits though as in the center of His Peaceful Streams and smiles back to life 
and just finds wonder in any challenge. She waits on God with expectancy of great. As if to step solidly in confidence in God, no matter the shaky ground presented her.

It has humbled me to watch this amazing in her.

We did a group hug with her right in the center before we all parted ways.
She is headed to her father's for a week, so a love-you-big-hug was in order!
 As we all loved and giggled in this family group hug, it radiated this precious and beautiful feeling.  Like God was giving us big and calming smiles 
over all our hearts trying to tell us, all will be good.
Goodness, I am blessed by my family and think you would be too.

Praying over you MyLulupie many great smiles, great care,
 safety and much laughter this week! 
Thank you for teaching me to trust in God, no matter life storms.

Happy Thursday to You All!
