30 Days of Thankful ~ day 5

What a joy to spend part of the evening with my baby girl (I cannot even believe that Jensyn will be turning 12 years old in February). I am thankful for her precious life, generous spirit and how she is growing in maturity and wisdom and establishing good moral judgement. We had so much fun together treasure hunting at Goodwill's Half-Off Day. Jensyn was looking in the baby clothing to find things for her build-a-bear to wear and she came across a bib which was embroidered with: "Looking good is better than being good". She showed it to me, saying that it wasn't a very good message. I am thankful that our teaching is reaching her heart. As she was browsing through the jackets, Jensyn found a really cute one in white. After showing it to me, she decided that it might not be the best purchase because it was sure to get dirty quite easily. I like that she is learning to think things through and make wise choices, even with something as simple as which color of jacket to purchase.
Thank you, God, for this amazing girl. Please help me to be the Godly mom that she deserves. Help me to continually guide her to You and lead her in building a strong foundation of living in Your Word. I am blessed that You hand-picked me to be Jensyn's mom.
