Your Wings Exist All You Need to do is Fly!

As a baby she bounced  up and down the stairs.   She started jumping on a trampoline at age 18 months and kept jumping higher and higher.  Laughing with joy and delight at the new heights she could reach. She always had wings and was fearless.  Her parents had to run from side to side around the trampoline to catch her.  She giggled and laughed with pure joy as she flew from side to side.  She definitely had the kiss of God on her face.
