Talents of the Woman I know

I believe all of us have talents. I think I have to focus on the talents of the women I know. Some, are talents I desire and envy those who have them.

I wish I could sew. I have great ideas but putting a thread to a needle is not what I have the patience for. My mother is an excellent seamstress. She has created things ever since I was a little girl. She designs wedding dresses and has even made wedding dresses for a friend or two of mine. Her talent is endless. She has so much patience with fabric. I, on the other hand hate to pin fabric with patterns, so I give up before I even start. I know many other woman that create lovely things with fabric and I envy their passion and creativeness.

One of my friends is a talented cook. She has the ability to make simple pancakes a beautiful taste in your mouth. She had a birthday party for her daughter and the theme was If You Give a Mouse a Party. She made pancakes, muffins and cookies on a stick for party favors. The party was a great success and the food was even better than the theme. Now I desire to be as great a cook as her, but if I was I would also be 200 lbs over weight.

My daughter, Kylie's teacher has the talent of teaching and being patient with children. There is so much a person could learn from her. I see the beautiful light of understand in her eyes. She radiates life into the children that surround her. Kylie missed school for a whole week, because we went on a cruise. She said she didn't miss school, she said she missed Mrs. Roberts. This is the first year Kylie has gone to school and I am blessed to have my daughter in a class with a wonderful, loving woman. I know a lot of women have the talent of patience and teaching because I see posts from other moms about their children's teachers and can not believe how blessed we truly are. These woman are such a strong force in the lives of our children. And that force is past onto us through our children. They should be celebrated everyday with all that they do.



Another friend has the talent of being a great friend. She is a ray of light on a clouded day. She is friendly, fun and a joy to be around. She is patient with her children and has an understanding heart. I think all of us have a friend like this and maybe we are this friend to others. I desire to be that friend to someone, if not everyone I know. I think at times I am this person and other times I know I could do better. Friendship is important to us women. We have our families, our children and even some of us have co-workers. But, we really need each other, someone that knows what we go through, someone who will let us cry when we are need a shoulder to cry on. A friend that helps with our children when we can't for some reason or cook us a meal when we just had baby. Someone that gets us straight through the core of who we are. I am blessed to have made friends with this woman and others that have the same talent and strength.



Thank you,

for all the love, talent and being who you are
