Glow

I'm sure I have said this in some form or another on here, probably even a few times...but I just have to say that my oldest daughter Emilea is simply amazing she really is a gift, I came across this photo from last summer , and although it is not the smiley, cute-sie shot. For me it captures something more; it captures a snapshot of "her". When I look at it I see a glimpse of the glow that shines from within her, this great Love for those around her. I may as well just share the journaling,

it says: "you have a glow about you from deep inside your soul, a compassion for people like no other I have seen. Without so much as a smile, I see your soft gentle beauty,the love that is so great in your little heart glows from you with no need for spoken words. One Look into your soft sweet face and I know you were born with a purpose. I am sure God created you to make this world a better place."

that's all I have to say for now, I am just thankful that this sweet girl came into this world, and I know it will be a treat to have a front row seat as her life unfolds.
