This is Us is a new tv series that is emotional, relatable, and heartwarming. It has an unexpected twist that draws you in and captivates every human spirit. It's a must see tv series.

On the fourth episode, The Pool, there is a scene that reminded me of the heavenly father.

***spoiler alert if you haven't caught up yet... sorry***

Kate is one of the three children and is dealing with a little extra weight. As they go to the pool, she is wearing a two-piece bathing suit. Her mother is worried and wished her daughter would have covered up, anxious that the other kids might make fun of her. Kates father, just says it's baby weight and every kid deals with it.

Throughout this scene, Kate attempts to get the girls to play with her but instead, they shamed her, not wanting to be seen with the girl who wasn't like them.

As Kate is clothed with a towel, her dad comes to sit down beside her. He asked Kate"are you cold, where is your tee shirt?" and she simply replies, "I didn't bring one." Like any father, he came to the rescue, giving her the one he brought. Kate begins to mention how her mother hates that shirt but he disagreed saying he could be anything in the world when he wanted when he wore the worn out green Florida tee.

Kate puts on the shirt and claims that she would be a princess, smiling. Her father then reassures her saying whether she is clothed in his tee shirt or not, she will always be his princess.

***This is the good part right here***

There are times where we have messed up and are covered in our mistakes, embarrassment, and shame. We can't seem to lift our heads because we believe we are what others believe we are. A liar. A cheater. Not good enough. Fat, skinny, ugly. On and on again, we can find ourselves her, but there is hope. Our father wants to come in and rescue us in times where we can't do it ourselves. He wants to clothe us and remind us of our worth. He already sees us as beautiful, worthy, honest, and pure, but he's gracious enough to tell us again and again.

I hope you know your worth. You are a princess or a king. You are a light in this world. Your body image doesn't define you but the heart inside of you. I hope you realize that in the midst of feeling bare, you will always be clothed in christ.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
