Another gem of a find....

As I continued to peruse the blog I was just discussing in my last post, I saw this comment that a "Dawn" left on one of Kate's posts. It is amazing. Read below:

When my grandmother was 98 1/2 years old she went into a physical decline. In the hospital my sisters and I sat with her, combed her hair & rubbed her hands. I remember a nurse came in and looked at my grandmother. Suddenly I realized that to the nurse my grandmother looked old, haggard, her hair was whisps of white. The nurse could not see my grandmother! She could not see how lovely she was, how funny, how kind. She couldn’t see my grandmother’s long life, her strength thru hard times, her faithful love for her family. The nurse could only see with her eyes. I looked am my grandmother. I COULD see her. It was like magic.

Kate, if you are with people who can’t see you, you are with the wrong people.

Now, read it again...this time, put YOUR name in the blank. I mean it. READ IT AGAIN, NOW!

_____________, if you are with people who can’t see you, you are with the wrong people.

Those who are the right people...those true friends, don't think of you like that. They see YOU. They see your beauty. Embrace that and stop the other voices in your head. Don't let them bring you down!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
God made you that way.
