If I had a little girl...

If I had a little girl...

If I had a little girl, I would tell her all the things I think she would need to know to be fully prepared for life. I would tell her that there will be good days and bad days, and that she should be grateful for them all. I would tell her that she is always protected, and no matter what she does, she will always be loved.
I would tell my little girl that life is full of wonder and excitement, and that it is all available to her. I would tell her to focus on one thing at a time. Enjoy it, taking the most pleasant memories of it into the next experience. I would tell her to be kind to all people, even when they are not kind in return. I would tell my little girl to find something to appreciate about everything and everyone. When you are appreciative, you get more to appreciate.
I would tell my little girl that she did not have to rely on people for her good., that she could withdraw all that she needs from Heaven. I would tell her to always tell the truth in the way she would want to hear it; always give her best and never doubt that it was good enough; always remember where she came from and the people who helped her along the way.
I would tell my little girl that the best things in life are not things. They are people. I would tell my little girl that it is important for her to honor what she feels. I would tell her that a well-ordered mind will never lead her astray, and that if her mind and life are to be in order, she must put God first. The most important thing I would want my little girl to know is that she should never be afraid of making a mistake, because mistakes, when evaluated, make masters.

This is so beautiful, I printed it out and I'm going to hang it in my room and give it to my friends.  Sometimes our parents just don't know what to say to make us feel better... and kids end up figuring everything out about the world on their own.  That's not right, kids need guidance the most!

I like the last part very much.  And it's true.. we shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.  Because when mistakes are evaluated, then we can learn from them and better prepare ourselves.  There are so many people that shelter their kids, trying to prevent any opportunity where a mistake could happen, but we all need to make mistakes sometimes.
