What do I wish for my [grand]daughters?
My wish for you is ...
... A lifetime of true love. May you love wholeheartedly, unabashedly and with no regrets
... May you marry the one you cannot live without and may passion be yours
... May you love passionately and fight passionately for what you believe in
... May you have wisdom to draw boundaries for those who do not respect your boundaries
... May you learn to forgive, not for another's sake, but for your own soul and healing, let it go
... Courage and bravery knowing you are fearfully and wonderfully made
... Faith in God that is steadfast and unshakable
... Peace always in your soul
... Laughter that brings joy to your heart
... Good heath and a strong body for a lifetime of adventures
... Blessings that always continue to fall on you like a soft rain
... That you find the good in all situations
... Confidence to follow your heart and your dreams
... Friendships to bless your life and for you to know they are a gift from God
... To know your worth. You are far more precious than rubies
... To be strong and independent, self-sufficient, yet wise enough to know ...
"Femininity is strength wrapped in a velvet glove.
It doesn't insist on its own way, but most of the time gets it."
- Michelle McKinney Hammond
... To be anything you want in life and to be genuinely happy with whatever you choose
... Curious to always want to learn and grow
... To always know you are loved and loved deeply
... That you know that you have a [grand]momma who covers you in prayer
... That wisdom and discernment in life's decisions is your guide
... That the power of prayer is your weapon of choice in all things
... Angels surround you to protect you and keep you safe
... That the Holy Spirit is your guide
... Kindness flows from your lips and heart and fearlessness is yours when you need it
... To seek and find your purpose in life and use your gifts lavishly
... To have gratitude through the eyes of your soul and see goodness in everything
... May you have faith, hope and love and leave a little sparkle wherever you go.
