When Monroe was born, Grandma Murrill (Rosie's Great Grandma) gave her a book called "God Loves You" by Kathleen Bostrom. Monroe has loved it from the very beginning and I have ended up reading it a trillion times. So many times in fact, I now know it by heart. I feel like the words are utterly amazing. I can't think of a better way to express how God loves us. I wish everyone in the world would read it and take it to heart. It really touches me every time. I hope you like it. I really think every little person should have this book.
God Loves You
You can be silly or you can be sad;
You can be happy or you can be mad;
You can be grumpy or you can be glad;
God loves you just as you are.
You can be short or you can be tall;
You can be big or you can be small;
Your size and your shape, they don't matter at all;
God loves you just as you are.
You can be messy or you can be neat;
You can be pokey or fast on your feet;
March with the others or to your own beat;
God loves you just as you are.
You can be dark or you can be light;
You can be shades of the day or the night;
Whatever your color, it suits you just right;
God loves you just as you are.
God made each part from your head to your toe;
Day in and day out, He's helping you grow.
He made you special and that's how you know...
God loves you just as you are.
And yes, I wrote it from memory:)
