SILLY MOLLY

Molly asked me, of course at 11pm how she was different than Katie, other than brown eyes and brown hair. Why do those in depth conversations always occur when it is hours past their bedtime? As tiered as I was last night I unfortunately didn't take the opportunity to tell her how special she was and uniquely different and told her we would talk about it tomorrow. It made me think after I left the room just how different she is. Molly is a type of kid that has to understand the world. The world needs to be fair and if it is not she wants to change it either by voicing her ideas to change it or protesting that it shouldn't be that way. Molly is kind. When a friend is hurting she will feel for them and try to comfort them. Molly is determined with certain friends to help them understand who Jesus is and sticks to it even if she doesn't mention it to them anymore by asking them to VBS or church. Molly is in tuned with who God is and why He is important, an envy of every adult, she has a childlike faith. My biggest prayer for Molly is that people see her through God's eyes and sees the uniquely beautiful little lady He is beginning to form and that she will always keep her faith. How is she different than Katie? It is hard to say since Katie has not formed her personality completely yet being so much younger than her. Molly has a lot more energy than Katie, she is very outgoing while Katie takes a different approach. Katie has more of a quiet demeanor while Molly is very much in the front of everyone and isn't afraid to show herself. Molly is sensitive but doesn't take on others feelings where as Katie does. All these unique qualities will hopefully make her a strong person and feel good about herself. I have heard more experienced moms say that you love your children all differently and I never realized that until recently. I love them both equally, but definitely differently. They are both joys.
