I spent the afternoon and evening with my sister and 2 nieces and nephew to celebrate my nieces birthday. After a week of asking her what she wanted to do to celebrate, she decided on going to a big mall about 40 minutes from where they live. This seemed funny to me because she's not into clothes shopping and she's too young to hang out at the mall by herself or with friends. In a few years, I could see this being something she would want to do. But, not now.
I've heard several times from different family members that she is a "mini me". I am guessing it's her perpetual motion that reminds them of me. She's always busy doing something, constantly moving.
But, that's my niece! Expect the unexpected! She is spunky and silly. She let's you know what she's thinking. She also has a beautiful heart. She is thoughtful and loving. When I visit without my husband, she is the one who seems to ask where he is and how he is. She doesn't seem to care about what people think, but she does care about people.
She's young. But, I hope she continues to savor these moments- her youth, her spunky, silly, beautiful, loving moments that she has blessed so many around her with. I see so much potential for greatness in her!
So, where was God today? As I think about today, celebrating her birthday, I celebrate the gift God gave the world when she was born.
Blessings,
Jennifer
