Put your wings on!

Erin's 4 year old wisdom:

Every

day

is

an

occasion

for

a girl

to

put her

wings

on.

So, put 'em on girls!

No matter how old.

No matter how hurt.

No matter how afraid.

No matter if there is dirt or mud.

No excuses.

Put on your wings.

~

In Sue Monk Kidd's spiritual memoir,

When the Heart Waits,

she writes,

Most of all,

we have to trust

that our scarred hearts

really do have wings.

~

When I think of "putting on wings"

this is what comes to mind from God's word:

put on the new man {woman} who is

renewed in knowledge

according to the image

of Him who created him {her}.

{Col 3:10}

AND

"Therefore as the elect of God,

holy and beloved,

put on

tender mercies

kindness

humility

meekness

longsuffering {patience}

bearing with one another

forgiveness

. . .

above all

put on

love

the bond

of perfection.

{from Col 3:12-14}

AND this:

be renewed in the spirit of your mind

{ahhh, there is that butterfly metamorphosis!}

and put on the new man {woman}

{wings}

which was created according to God

in true righteousness and holiness.

{He creates our wings, not us}

{He gives us true righteousness & holiness, not us.}.

Oh, Erin,

there is so much that God teaches me

through you

and your

sweet little wings.
