This week I want to take an opportunity to give thanks for my daughters. Thank you its usually left unsaid , just take it for granted that people close to us are aware of our gratitude.
You also know that I love you, but it’s always nice hearing it. I love you.
You give me joy

- Men and women when they see you are happy. The childless have become fathers and mothers of girls, You bring joy.

- You possess an amazing drive that guides your life.
- Caring. You’ve looked after your grandmother in an instant. Covering her needs. Not only that, grandmother has seen the world because of you. Travelling locally and abroad because of you. Getting pampered and spoilt.

A blessing
- You are a blessing in my life and you’re touching many lives.

- Your price is above that of rubies, Proverbs 31:10. You’re my special girls and wonderfully made.
Stephanie Lahart definition is more fitting:,

- You are wonderfully made and crafted.
- You are the Proverbs 31 woman, nicely summarised by http://web.mit.edu,
- ‘She is clothed with strength and dignity: she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all”.
- Your husband is a good man. You married the men of your dreams, had the wedding of your dreams and children of your dreams.
- My girls, you can do anything.
- You’re always a reminder that girls can do anything. Thank you for all you do my daughters.
My daughters, I love you. Well done. I’m proud of you.
