In Other Words

In reading friends blogs not that I am trying to take what they say away or anything it just got me thinking. God made us in his likeness, so who are we to say we aren't beautiful? Well lets face it people are just down right cruel, especially kids. I mean middle school and high school are the worse. I always tell my kids they are beautiful inside and out and not to listen to what other kids say to them. It really breaks my heart sometimes when a kid had been mean to my daughter and said stuff to her or threw stuff at her. I got a call one time to come in to talk to the councilor because my daughter was writing an essay and mentioned suicide in the essay. I was beside myself when she told me this. I mean if a kid can say something or do something to make you feel like killing yourself even when you have been brought up in God's house what about the kids that aren't? As a parent you always want to be there for your children and sometimes you can't. We watch our daughter really closely ever since this and her big brother had a talk with her after this had happened, because after all a teenager really doesn't want to talk to MOM about that, and I thought that if her big brother talked to her it would be a lot better. She is doing good and she even said today that she is beautiful inside and out no matter what other people think. Kudo's to you sweetheart!!

God made us in his likeness and made us perfect, but Adam and Eve blew it so than we became sinful and God had to give us imperfections because of that, but he also gave his one only only son to wash away our sin's and he died for us and if you believe you will be saved. Isn't it nice to know that no matter what if you believe you will be saved and have eternal life and be perfect with God. I'm really not sure where I am going with this but I think you know what I am saying. That no matter what people or kids say you shouldn't let them get to you because they aren't perfect either and you are just more beautiful than they are because you know the truth.

So when life has got you down or something or someone has said something to make you feel bad just remember God loves you and is always there for you. I will try to remember that as well because sometimes I don't remember.
