"A compliment is verbal sunshine."
-Robert Orben
I had a few extra minutes to get ready for church on Sunday morning, and I took some extra time with my hair.
My outfit wasn't anything outstanding...just a cute pair of black legging tights, paired with a three-quarter length sleeved gray dress and black flats.
My heart just about melted as I was helping Natalie put on her shoes.
"Mommy, you look Vanstatic." she said enthusiastically.
I paused for a moment before breaking into a huge grin. "You mean "Fantastic'?"
"Yes," she nodded. "Van....um... pretty!"
This is one of the greatest blessings of having children.
They love me unconditionally, no matter how bad my hair looks, how much make-up I put on, or even if I've shrieked at them for coloring on the white table with pink marker.
No matter how much I resemble this:

They make me feel like this:

That is a blessing.
"Verbal sunshine" can really make your day!
Hope your week is off to a great start!
