Greetings!
The way God created everyone is different from one person to the other. Though he created us in his own image according to the scripture, even as he has created us in his own image, we are still different in the way we look and even in our colors. That's how awesome our God is.
God created everyone in his likeness and to me, everything he's created is good and perfect. So, no matter our color or how we look, we are still in the image of God and what that means is that we are perfect as we are in the image God has created us, which is his image. Hmmm, that means if I'm short, I'm perfect in his image. Likewise if I'm tall, that's who God wants me to be, what if I'm dark in complexion, I'm like God who created me, and if I'm light, I'm of his image as well.
So, no matter how I look or what other traits I'm, I am a perfect being and like I used to say, I'm my own kind and no one is even better compared to who I am.
Though, God created in his own image as I have said earlier, but even with that, he created different in his power and that's why it would be difficult to see people looking alike both in the physical or in their character.
So, since creation is the prerogative power of God, there's nothing anyone can do to change this, but even at that, we all have our wishes most especially when it comes child bearing. As for someone like me, there's certain trait I would love my children to have. Though, I don't have any power over creation, but still there's a way I would love my children to look and behave.
To begin with, I would like to talk about how I want the genotype of my children to be. As for me and my wish, I would love it if my children can be of AA genotype and this is because it would make things easy for them when it comes to them getting married as AA can marry anyone of other genotype. Though I'm not of AA genotype, but thanks to my wife's genotype of AA who saved us and our relationship from collapsing at the edge of us trying the knot. So, for the sake of having it easy when their time of getting married comes, I would like and wish they are of AA genotype.
Aside from this genotype, I would also like them to possess some phenotype traits as I do. Some of those physical traits I would love them to possess is that of dark complexion. Just as I'm dark in complexion, I would love them also to be dark in complexion. This is because black is beautiful. Black shines more than any other colour and for this reason, I would want them to be dark in complexion.
Also, when it comes to their heights, I would want them to be a little bit tall. Though I'm not that tall, what I wish for is that my male children should be tall and as for the female one of them, I would love them to be of average height, not too tall and not too short. The reason for this height of a thing for the male among them is that, good height brings about confidence and as for the female ones, the median height will make them portable and smart for their husband.
Also, being smart is another trait I would love to see in my children. I would love them to be smart in all they do as this will make them outstanding in whatever they do. Also, diligence is another thing I would love to have in them. I hate being lazy and that's why I'm not lazy. So, they must also have this trait of being proactive to every situation.
Humility as a trait is another thing I would want them to possess as this will always make ways for them where there seems to be no way. Having good character is another great trait I would want them to have. As this would make them outstanding in whatever they do and even in their relationship with people.
Also, back to the physical trait I wanted for my kids, I would want them to also have pink lips as I, their father, had pink lips. This what God has given me for free is what some people are even paying for just to make them attractive and handsome. So, I would want my kids to also have pink lips.
But overall, there's many traits I would want them to have or possess, but more importantly, I would like them to have and possess good character more than anything else. This is because even with all the physical attributes earlier mentioned, if there's no good character in them, all these beauty would mean nothing. Also, I want them to be more than me in every aspect of their lives and that my weakness should be their own strength.
Also, I would want them to be healthy and neat. This neatness of a thing will surely be their pride and make them even stay healthy.
There's many traits I would have loved to mention here, but because of time, I would like to stop here.
