This is my favorite superhero.
The Five Minute Friday prompt is WOMAN this week and SHE is the first one that came to mind. What I love about her: She doesn't give up.
We are surrounded by Wonder Women. The exhausted mom wandering the grocery store with toddlers hanging from the "car cart". The checker at that same store who has the power to encourage or dissect this dear warrior with a few choice words. The woman in the next aisle who hears the hysterical pleas for cookies (they never beg for carrots do they?) and casts judgement or prays a blessing over the distressed little and the mama.
We have the opportunity to see the Wonder WOMAN in our midst. She's probably not 6'2", a size 0 and dressed in red, white, and blue. She's possibly in yoga pants, a messy bun, yesterday's mascara under her eyes, and stains on her favorite t-shirt. Or she could be rocking the wedge heels, tidy capris, with classy accessories to go with her favorite shirt that makes her feel like a movie star.
Every WOMAN has a hero inside them. We don't know what they've survived, conquered or slogged through in the last 10 minutes, 10 days or 10 years. Let's see them. Encourage them. Remind them not to give up - especially the one in the mirror.
Stop.
Women are quite incredible, aren't we? Great post. I'm number 7 at FMF
ReplyDeleteOh yes, each one of us has a story to tell, don't we? And there is a hero inside us. The outside doesn't always exhibit what's going on inside. Loved your post. Visiting from FMF #8
ReplyDeleteLove it! Wonder Women for Jesus! Visiting from FMF linkup!
ReplyDeleteOh Jennifer! This made me smile and have tears at the same time! What lovely encouragement your words are and an important reminder to be a blessing for we have no idea what others are going through! Your words have blesses me today, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! It's so true that the title of Wonder Woman could be applied to so many women. And I love your point that we don't know what people have been through so we should take every opportunity to encourage them. Visiting from FMF #20.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer visiting from the #5, I love your blog, the memories of little ones chuckles and squals, thanks for helping me to remember the good memories again today, smiles.

ReplyDeleteI used Wonder Woman too! My favorite as well. I so agree that every woman has a little bit of a superhero in them. May we all encourage one another to do all God has called us to. It was a joy tonight to stop here from FMF. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved Wonder Woman too! Especially the airplane!! More than that I love your reminder that we are all wonder women in our own right. That the definition is not the same for all and one is not inferior to another. Thank you so much for sharing. Visiting from FMF.
