Like daughter, like ...Grandmother?

Ahh. My mom. How I love this woman. How I'm soo sure that she'd frown and say "Christin!" if she knew I had put a picture of her on here. Not because of privacy sake. But because she never likes her pictures. ...I don't know. I'm thinking she's a pretty one. "Especially" considering she's been a grandma for 17 years now! (see Mom, at least I didn't put your age)

But as pretty as I know she is, I just don't agree with what 1/2 of my church seems to think: That Charis (4) looks just like her. Huh?

I mean, I know Charis looks like the *insert my maiden name* side of the family. There's no doubt that my DNA seems to reign supreme when it comes to our children. (heh heh). But I just don't see it. Do you?

Of course, in my opinion...this picture doesn't really look a WHOLE lot like the "normal" Charis. She's WAYYYY posing here. So...?
But as far as personality...Charis is a LOT like my mother. And I have no complaints there! Here, they are praying together. Mom said something hurt and Charis came over and said "Let's pray for it."

Of course I, being the ever-so-spiritual one, ran to get my camera.

Lord, you know how your Word says that “I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God"? Well...Here, You can just think of me as your photographer. Mkay?

But regardless of whether I think Charis looks like Mom. I am so blessed to know that my daughters will grow up looking like Jesus...because of what they see IN my mom.

I would have ran for the camera too. That picture is so precious. Your Mom is so sweet and I think it is beautiful to hear you loving on her and to see Charis bonding with her. As for the resemblance, I think you look A LOT like your Mom, and Charis looks a lot like you...so....
Enjoy the comments. You are all beautiful. :)
