Dear Julia,
I cannot believe that you are seven years old! You are growing into such a beautiful young girl. As you grow older, I can see God working in your life every day, molding you to be the girl He created you to be. You are kind, caring, full of joy, and you have a heart that delights in serving others.
For your birthday, you wanted to have a girls’ spa party. So that’s what we did. And everything pink.
You had a wonderful time getting pretty with your friends…manicures, pedicures, facials…everything girlie! You all loved being pampered.
While we all enjoyed pampering you beautiful young ladies, it is also important for you to know that your true beauty comes from within, not by all these outer beauty treatments we do. So, Auntie Cryssi put together a most beautiful time.
While she guided you through these fun girlie things, she reminded you of taking care of the beautiful body God gave you, keeping it healthy, and using it to honor God.
After talking about things that create and show your inner beauty, each of you took turns sharing the beautiful things you see in each other. While you sat in the chair, your friends all wrote the ways they see God’s beauty in you. What a beautiful gift each of you have in the words of encouragement from your friends. 
I love the beauty I see in you. I am proud of the ways you show Jesus in your life…your kindness, helpfulness, joy. You are learning how to spend time with Jesus each day and the fruit of His Spirit is showing in your life. That is the beauty I see in you. And I am so proud of you!
The last six years with you have been the best years of life. Watching you grow up has been my most favorite thing in the whole world! I love you so much, my big girl! Happy 7th Birthday, Juju!
Love,
Mommy
