A note, a keepsake

Jan. 21, 2008 • 2:45 PM

Posted in FAMILY

Our church has Sunday morning services as well as a Sunday evening meeting (also a Wednesday evening). We try to go back in the evening as much as we can. With a 3 and 1 yr.old and my husband's changing schedule it isn't always possible. When we do plan to though, the children love to "swap" with other families. This is when one child from another family comes to our house while one of our children go to their home for the day. Then we all return to the evening meeting and switch back. The kids love doing this. My girls went to their cousins yesterday and my nehphew came to our house to play with our boys. The girls went to an all-you-can-eat chinese place for their cousin's birthday! The boys played playstation and with cars and trucks for awhile. When we went back to meeting I sat closer to the back as my hubby was working, one boy was asleep, the other was sick and laying down on my other side, and an active toddler was on my lap. When my girls came in with their aunt and uncle (and family) they sat in the pew behind me. The younger girls got paper and pens from their aunt and were making pictures, etc.

Close to the end of the meeting, my (middle) daughter, "Princess" passed up a note to me. It was folded up and when I opened it , it read

"Dear Mom,

I love you. You are the best mom ever. Thank you for watching over me, cooking and cleaning and homeschooling me. But mostly...Thank you for loving me for who I am!

then she signed her name and had hearts and a picture of her and I.

Can you imagine how my heart smiled. I was so touched! I was caught off guard with the sweetest note!- It will be a special keepsake in my treasure truck of Kid's things!

Thank you, Princess! It is my priviledge to be able to do these things and be the mom to you and your brothers and sisters!

*sniff* That's so sweet! =D
I save those. All of them. And I love to come across them as the kids get older and get that sappy "awwww, they're growing up so quickly and I remember when" sniffles. Priceless!

just melts the heart when our children express their love and appreciation for us spontaneously.

Love your new template. You did a fantastic job on it. The graphics are beautiful and I love your header. Great work.

Love your new format, although my husband really loved the coffee cup on your other one. This one seems very cozy.

So precious. I am sure your heart had a great big smile from such a sweet expression of love. I try to keep all the notes from little girl too. I now have a folder in the file cabinet to keep them in as I replace the older notes/pictures with the new ones at (around, on , above;-) ) my desk.
BTW- The new template looks great!
Be blessed,
Stacy
