Sun Kisses

Little children are often confused at the sight of arms and faces full of freckles. I have often been asked just what "those little dots" are all over me.

Well, they are sun-kisses. God loves me very much, and whenever I go outside, He says to the sun, "Show Jennifer how much I love her. Give her some kisses for me." And whenever it gives me a kiss, it leaves behind a mark. It reminds me how much God loves me-more than all the sun-kisses all over my body.

But for others, God might say to the sun, "Give that little girl a nice warm hug for me." And when it does, it makes her skin nice and warm and brown all over.

And, still, for others, God may say to the sun, "Give him a short, reeeally tight sqeeze to show him that I love him." And when the sun does this, it makes his skin very dark, almost black.

For others, God will say to the sun, "Give her a kiss for me, but just a very soft one because her skin is so delicate." And she will feel the kiss, but the sun is careful to not leave a mark. And so her skin stays very, very clear-white.

You see, we all look different as God has made us, and He loves each of us in our very own special way. Sometimes we just don't realize it.
