She does have really great glasses!

I always love analogies.

I keep erasing the rest of my comment because I just keep repeating what you've already said.

You said it all 🙂

I wear glasses too and sometimes, it's a battle. I never thought about it in this way before though. Thanks for helping me open my eyes.

I’m always so impressed with people who can turn everyday events into meaningful life lessons. What a good reminder for all of us. And what a good mommy you are!

I wish I looked as cute in glasses as she does 🙂

And she is the most adorable little girl in glasses.

Again, another great post. It’s funny that church set off the feelings for her, but I’m glad all went well too.

I am having such fun catching up on these past blog posts of yours. I really enjoyed this parable.

The funny thing is that the opposite is true, too. You know how half the people who don’t have glasses or braces want them? (You wouldn’t believe how disappointed Fantasia is because the dentist told her she will probably never need braces. Ridiculous!) I think it’s the same concept. Growing up, I never had LDS friends and I was embarassed that I stood out and was different. Yet, as I got older, I was surprised how many of my friends and acquaintances told me that they had wanted to be like me. Little old me. I couldn’t believe it.

What a great parable.

Great analogy!
I love blogging for that reason, too, that amongst all the newspapers and TV telling us and showing us so many bad things that happen on a daily basis, that there is this network of awesome women out there in the world, outside of my own little ward, who think and feel and believe the way I do! It’s great to have this kind of Positive peer pressure!

Awesome! I’ll have to remember that teaching moment too! I bet the same principle could be used with various other things as well!
