Kitchen Conversations

Yesterday The Teen and I were cooking up a storm in the kitchen.  Experimenting with some Asian dishes for her school lunches and the upcoming "Wok and Talk" at the church next week {more on that later!}, along with playing around with the No Bake Apple Snowballs again {I can't get enough of them!}.

I love times with her in the kitchen.  We always have such great conversations.  Yesterday?  The discussion over this song:

 Beautiful

Days will come when you don't have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

And praying that you have the heart to find
Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves enough to die

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
In His eyes

You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

I am blessed with such an amazing daughter.  It was her that remarked during our conversation that she wishes more people really understood how beautiful they are, just the way that they are! 

Amen to that!  And here's to wishing that more people could see themselves as God sees them ~ with amazing potential and truly treasured by Him.
