That laughter you heard coming from "upstairs" was my mom and the Big Guy having a good belly chuckle over my last post.
I thought it was a tribute to my mother and how incredibly special she made me feel and how she had a way of making me see myself as an invincible princess with a golden crown who could conquer the world by pulling herself up by her proverbial bootstraps and getting on with it with grit and determination.
Nope.
Apparently it refers to being a daughter of God.
If you knew my mom, you would understand why my confusion/stupidity/cluelessness is so very funny. I sincerely apologize if my miscue offended anybody. I promise you it wasn't intentional...just me being me.
No worries Coni. It's sweet and precious and works both ways.
ReplyDeleteI understood and think it is a great post. No worries here. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThe meaning is whatever speaks to you. It was a sweet thought about your mom!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone took you to the woodshed for "misinterpreting" the saying, they need to learn more about generosity & compassion.
Coni, you are a child of God and the daughter of your mom and dad! They all three have your back, make that four (a certain furrball in a smoking jacket and an affinity for curtains!)
ReplyDeleteAll concerned above read your heart and understood and rejoiced with you….. so did we....
ReplyDeleteLOL! I can imagine the bucketful of stress you had at the moment you realised. Take a deep breath because if anyone does take offense then maybe they need to look at themselves and not you. Peace and happy heavenly birthday to your mum! My mum's birthday is tomorrow she'll be 91! :D
ReplyDeleteI first thought of my Mom when I read the post. Blessed to be the daughter of my Mom and of God.
ReplyDeleteTotally works both ways. No worries!
ReplyDeleteNo one should be offended! You are a child of God. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteWhy would you apologize? You ARE a daughter of God. That's a fact.
ReplyDeleteI got it right away. It was a beautiful tribute to your mom. Happy Birthday to your Mom and what a beautiful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI got it too. You are amazing, and your mom, and God knew what you were saying, and are with you every minute. I loved the picture and quote.

I don't get the confusion....just thought it was a beautiful post (and photo) and wonderful sentiment.
ReplyDeleteI think it works for God or your mother. It is lovely no matter how it is taken.
