Beth Turns 7

The reason I have long, thick, wavy, brown hair to brush and beautify each day is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I have a friend to visit with while I fold laundry, clean the bathroom, and water the flowers is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I hear songs of praise from various corners of the house any given time of day is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I doubly love to wear dresses and enjoy being girly is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I have a shadow in the kitchen every time I go to bake something delicious is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I have a second mama scrambling to help me bathe baby brother and help with potty training is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I have an eager, ready-made prayer partner at random intervals of the day is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I am never lacking for a walking partner is because
God gave me a little girl!
The real reason my fingernails now have polish on them is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I can no longer fit my own hairbrush and do-dads into the bathroom drawer is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I craft and sew against all reason is because
God gave me a little girl!
The reason I stand a little taller, try to talk a little sweeter, and hold my breath
and pray I’ll be the kinder is because
God gave me a little girl!
