A little while ago, (adopted)dd8 was on my lap. She asked, "Do you know who I like best for a mom?" I asked, "Who?" She then nudged me. She said, "You don't wear fancy jewels. I'm your jewel." I squeezed her and said, "Yes, you are. You're stuck with me." We just finished week 7 in Beyond and the poem for the week was "Mother's Jewels". Other than my wedding band, I don't wear much jewelry. She is fascinated with the fancies. I had told her that wearing fancy jewels was not important to this mother. Her children were her jewels. Angie had stated previously that she didn't care for the poetry, so it not only thrilled me to hear her say what she did, but to also know that she is listening. This makes it all worthwhile!

What a special moment you were able to share with your dd! It's always exciting to know they are listening and making those connections. Thanks for sharing your special moment. It touched my heart and put a big smile on my face!

Super precious!

So sweet! We read that one a week ago! My girls LOVED that poem too!

Yes, we also loved reading that poem, my daughter has asked for that one several times since we did that unit, on day 5 when they can pick one of the previous week's poems to hear. I think it makes her feel special.

Awe that is so sweet! How great that she was able to make that connection. Not only is she your jewel but also the jewel you chose. What a great story!

That is just precious. I loved that poem, and so did my dc. I'm so glad your little sweetie made that connection, and she's right, she is a real jewel.

In Christ,
Julie

Oh! This is so precious! What a darling moment.

Blessings,

We are on unit 7 now and loving that poem. I kiss my son's blue eyes when it says that in the poem.

Love it!!!
