Each Friday my writing stems from a word prompt. Five minutes, one word prompt. The prompt this week is ā¦ Woman.
There truly could be no better word prompt for our family than this one. It took a few minutes for me to pick my dropped jaw up from the floor this morning.
“Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib …” (Genesis 2:22a, NLT).
Earlier this week, our third granddaughter came into this world. A true wonder. Over a week late. And a little “woman”.
One might say, “She’s already becoming a Wonder Woman.”
Wonder Woman – she was a fictional superhero who first appeared in DC Comics. She is the founder of The Justice League, a team of superheroes who fight crime and seek to maintain peace and order. When you grow up with a dad who loves comics, you tend to know these facts. This was why the TV program was a favorite in our house.
Wonder Woman was sculpted from clay by her mother much the way God formed the first woman from a rib of man, already formed, and the dust of the earth.
Created by psychologist, William Marston, she was to be a woman little girls would want to emulate. He wanted a character with all the strength of a man yet with all the qualities a good and beautiful woman should possess.
Wonder Woman has been loved by many for her beauty, for her strength, and for her love of humanity. She is strong-willed – knowing what needs to be accomplished and not backing down until it is done. She is a lover of peace but will fight for people, for a cause, for justice. But she was also created to be the nurturer of The Justice League, molding it to be all it could.
She’s a warrior woman yet an ambassador of people.
With that said, Eliza Diana, whom I once called “Wonder Baby” while yet in the womb, may you truly grow up to be a Wonder Woman. A woman who will fight for justice, defend the weak and the forgotten. May you be a woman of God-given strength yet have a tender and compassionate heart. May you be fierce yet a woman who will support and encourage those around you. May you be a woman who loves God above all else and then His people.
May you be a true Wonder Woman
and
may there be a little of Wonder Woman in us all!
I so love this analogy. In my post, I asked each woman to take the Wonder Woman pose. Congrats on the little wonder woman. You are going to have so much fun!
Karen,
I wanted to tell you in the comments section of your post, that after reading it, I decided to take that pose, right then, in front of the mirror that happened to be at my side. And the smile followed right after, spontaneously. Thanks. š
Karen, sometimes we need the visual of seeing ourselves in a post to grasp who we truly are. Excellent!
Congratulations on a third grandchild, Joanne! I love reading about what’s happening behind-the-scenes in the lives of my writing friends! I pray you enjoy these days with your new little woman! And this post was great! I love the analogy to Wonder Woman!
It’s so true, Stacey. It is amazing how we all become connected and caring about each other’s lives. We are surely enjoying these days! Thank you so much!
congrats on your newest little one, may she grow up to be the woman God is calling her to be.
Yes and Amen!
“Sheās a warrior woman yet an ambassador of people.” Yes! Congratulations on your newest wonder woman. FMF14
Much appreciated!
Wowzers, you know a lot about Wonder Woman – I knew none of this. LOL. In the mighty Name of Jesus may we all be a WW!!! xo
Our family, thanks to my dad, enjoyed all the superheroes as they came on TV – Superman, Batman, Green Hornet and Wonder Woman š
I so enjoyed your tribute to the new little Wonder Woman in your life, and your call to greatness for her. Delightful! And, yes, may there be a little Wonder Woman in us all! š
Thank you. It’s amazing what a little one can bring to mind š
Congratulations on your third granddaughter! How wonderful!!! I have three sons, and (so far) three grandsons. No girls for me, but I am still hoping!
Ahh, but boys are terrific too! There’s superheroes in them as well š
Congrats!
Joanne, this is lovely. Thank you for writing it, and bringing Wonder Woman to scale in a little girl.
Love this.
I still haven’t seen the movie Wonder Woman. Will have to correct that soon. š Congratulations on the newest little wonder woman in your family! That’s so exciting, Joanne. I know she will be a blessing to you as you will be a blessing to her.
We watched Wonder Woman as kids when it was a weekly TV show š She is already a blessing as she is bringing such love and joy!
