Good idea, cjh. I try really hard to not let my daughter know how I see myself. I don't want to pass that negativity on to her. I realize, of course, that life will probably have a way of doing that itself. One innocent, yet mean, comment can cause a lifetime of damage. I just don't want her to need that validation, especially from a man. I would love for her to know that God finds her beautiful so she finds herself beautiful. Sigh, it's so hard.

I had heard this song before but never really listened to the words...beautiful.
It is beautiful, just as we all are.
