Gifts of God
These children who once were just a hope of the future are now a dream come true . . . God has been so good to me in giving what I had once thought might be impossible . . .
I just thank Him for the gift of watching them grow up, the gift of hugging and kissing them and calling them my own, for giving us food and clothes to meet their needs, to be able to show them the love of God, to teach them of His Word, to hear laughter and song fill the house (as well as yells and fight – I’m realistic here), for bright eyes and soft warm skin . . . . and just the gift of them . . .

Loraine Rose – 4
Wayne Robert – 3
Jaden – 2
(Aimee) Lynne – 1
Oh, Lord, may they ever reach for You . . . Thank-You for the gift of holding them in my arms . . .

Great pictures and thoughts. I remember our four children being the same ages, and having the same thoughts and prayers for them. Today we continue to pray for them, their spouses, and our sixteen grandchildren.
Blessings in 2009.

Beautiful children!! Does anyone ever tell you that Lynne looks like her daddy did?

Neat post, Sis. I, too, thank God for each of your children–on this and the other side of Jordan. And thanks for letting me hold them in my arms and in my heart. They fill a need… and you do, too!
Much love,

Beautiful pictures….I like the ones of you with your girls…and then of Lynn with her arms outstretched…children are so precious…I miss my job in MN and being greeted, at times, by the “best lil hugger in the world”!
