Today (or laaate tonight!) I am thankful for….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

my silly, sweet daughters, who stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish a new jumper for me for Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n

And for the one who didn’t stay up late, but cut it out and then got up early Sunday morning to finish it by hemming it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And for the wonderful cards I got, the coupon for molasses cookies, and the lovely vase of lilacs in my master bath window!<\/p>\n

And for the one who is a mama’s helper to another family these past two weeks–I really miss her!   (Miss you, Jessica!)<\/p>\n

And for the cute little boys that fight over every tractor, truck, firetruck…both just have <\/em>to have the same thing!!!   <\/p>\n

But I adore them just the same!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am so grateful that God has blessed me and allowed me to be a mother!  There was a time when I didn’t think we would have any children.  God was closing all doors–natural, adopted, foster.   <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am grateful for the 14 He took Home with Him–they are not "lost" but I will spend Eternity with them!  Because<\/em> of Him!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, I have much to be grateful for this week!   <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wonderful blessing of FAMILY!!!<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are you thankful for today?  This week?<\/p>\n
