First Hair Cut/Daughter of God

Before

Michael got his first hair cut. His bangs were getting so long that he either needed a hair clip or a cut. I didn't think his dad would be happy if I put a clip in his son's hair so I made an appointment and away we went. He was very cooperative and let the stylist trim his hair.  She didn't cut a lot off which I was actually really happy about because then he still has a little curl in back and doesn't look too much like a big boy yet.  Even dad had a hard time noticing that he had gotten it cut. I do think it is really cute.

After

 Today I read a talk We Are Daughters of Our Heavenly Father, Elaine S. Dalton, April 2013 General Conference

As daughters of God we are each unique and different in our circumstances and experiences. And yet our part matters—because we matter. Our daily contributions of nurturing, teaching, and caring for others may seem mundane, diminished, difficult, and demeaning at times, and yet as we remember that first line in the Young Women theme—“We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us”—it will make all the difference in our relationships and our responses.--I think often in life we women feel this way about our role.  That what we do is mundane, I mean how exciting is the never ending pile of laundry?  How does that apply to my eternal salvation?  But I do think that as we remember that we are daughters of God and that He loves us it makes what we are doing more important.  It makes us realize that the laundry really is necessary for this temporal life but that it is not the big picture.  That there is more out there for us that we should search for in our spare time so that we may come closer to our Father in Heaven and so that we can say we love Him as He loves us.
