Today is a momentous day. It is my granddaughter Tessa’s birthday. Today she is sixteen.
So here are some of the things I have witnessed as she has grown up:
You have tremendous heart, I pray you never lose your capacity to love and to empathize with others, it is a God given gift.
You have an amazing imagination, I have had the privilege of watching that imagination grow and expand. I pray you continue to foster it and recognize the source from which it comes.
You are so intelligent, the way you look at the world and learn from your surroundings is truly a wonder. I pray you continue to learn from those around you. Be discerning in what and who you learn from.
You are beautiful, not only physically but internally, my mother, your great grandmother Odela Testerman, would always tell me that true beauty starts on the inside and works its way outward. Don’t be fooled by fleeting beauty in others.
You are an amazing young woman and I am so humbled that I have gotten a front row seat in watching your transformation.
Always remember where you came from and allow God to guide you in where you go.
Love,
Gigi
