(Okay...so...I'm admitting on the front end that I know this is a little weird considering I don't really know the person I'm writing this letter too and I realize they will probably never see it. But, that being said, I'm going to write it anyway...)
Dear Beth...
I picture myself sitting across a table with you in a quiet corner of Starbucks laughing. The scene is a picture of two woman made uniquely alike by their incredible creator who is sharing as much joy in the moment as they are.
Their Father in heaven looks down at his Arkansas girl living in Houston, and his Oklahoma girl living in California who both have beautiful firstborn daughters the same age. He smiles as He watches them come to the conclusion that both their daughters roll their eyes with love and shake manes of brown hair when His women tell stories about them.
He listens to His girls talk about the joy they have in watching their beauties become wives and mothers, and He watches as they take turns telling dramatic stories about their precious Jackson and Jude with their ardent flair.
His women talk about the handsome men they've been married too forever and tell each other funny stories about them both.
Between their buckteeth, abuse, extra teeth, and suicides He is full of joy that His precious girls rejoice in the redeemed lives they were given by the sacrifice of His son Jesus and His perfect love.
He listens to His sweet fashionista's, lovers of Starbucks and admirers of big Texas hair laugh together as they realize how similar they are. The one He gave the southern accent too uses words like darlin' and sista, and loves her encouraging words. He loves that they recite their favorite Siesta scriptures to each other and share their life journies.
He listens as His California daughter hugs her Texas sister and thanks her from the bottom of her heart for being such a faithful teacher of God's word. He hears her say that she fell in love with His word because of His Texas daughters faithfulness in teaching it.
He sees that they are precious to one another, thankful, understood, and loved.
He has been waiting for them to have this moment, and at the end of their time together, He smiles from His Throneroom.
So until then Miss Beth...thank you!
