Today is Thursday and it is two days before my daughter, who is smart, cute, loving, and kind will turn 7 years old!! It is hard to think about because just yesterday she was a newborn baby laying on my chest with no worries, no fears, no troubles, just new, fresh, tiny, innocent little angel who depended on me for nothing more than food and changing. I miss the cuddle time, I miss just sitting and staring at her for hours, I miss the tiny toes and tiny nose, and even the tiny little finger that had me wrapped all up in love.... She still has all those things, just a little bigger. Time is not on our side when it comes to keeping our precious little one's little. Time does not listen when I say, slow down, I want to enjoy this... Time is stubborn, Time has no boss but God.
My Karissa, is about as tall as I am at 7 years old. She wears a size 3 shoe and is smart just like her Daddy.... She still has the beautiful blue eyes that you could dive into, she still has the beautiful smile that will melt your heart, it just has some missing teeth. She is such a beautiful spirit, such a wonderful example of the Love our God has for us. She will love you as hard as she can forever.
She is not a quiet child and definatley not the one in the class room that is the quiet little star student, but that is just because the teachers can not see her brilliance yet. She is a bright shinning star that will go far in life and do great things, maybe not the teachers kind of great things, but she will do great things for God. You should hear my child pray!!! She prays over our food and thanks God for everything she can possibly think of, and always makes sure to tell him that if it weren't for him we wouldn't have anything. I am amazed at my daughter!!! She is love, she is life, she is my life and my love.
God sent her to me and I am most appreciative of his wonderful blessing!!! No, my daughter is not like your daughter, she don't have to be, because she is like me, she is like her dad, she is like her aunt, and her cousins, she is a little piece of everyone all wrapped up in a beautiful package. But most of all she is like her creator, Her God, Our God, Our wonderful loving God!!!
