Go with your eyes open and your smile wide.
Be grown-up when you must but hold on to the morning of your life; it will be yesterday soon.
Read better so that you can explore the world.
Write well so others will understand you.
Learn to love to know.
Study well your numbers so that someday you can count the stars for me.
Be strong, but teachable. Be loyal and obedient.
Love fiercely, laugh deeply, listen intently and walk bravely.
Never forget Who made you and Whose daughter you are.
Happy Kindergarten, Hope! I am so proud of you.
Wow! She looks so big.
I like, “learn to love to know.” If we can teach them a love of reading, and show them how to love learning, they will be WAY ahead of the game for sure.
WOW! Sarah, I love this advice to her! What an amazing post! Thank you for sharing.
She looks like the sweetest little girl!
What a beautiful post you have written. It is full of wisdom too! This would be a great thing to have framed and hanging in any childs room.
What sweet words Sarah…May the Lord bless her on her journey now through school!
Sweet pictures. Hope her first day went well!!
She’s a beautiful girl. Such wise, tender words from her mom!
Sarah,
You write with such sparceness and elegance. It’s peaceful here without the clanging of the wordiness of extra words.

Congratulations Sarah, and welcome!
Hope looks adorable.
I love the last one! May we all remember who Created us!
Learn to Love to Know will carry her far as well. The love of learning is so important.
What great advice for your daughter.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by my site. I hope you will continue to read Where the Heart is….
BTW, in the photo’s of you there is a striking resemblance to Sandra Bullock!! She is one of my favorite actresses. Being Reformed and Charismatic—it’s the best of both worlds!! Adrian Warnock’s site has great articles on his archives discussing that very topic. Hope to hear from you again.

Oh Sarah, I wish I could’ve kissed her on her first day.
So cute!
Tell her auntie Tiff is proud of her.
