A perfect birthday present

Posted in Kids-Family-Funnies-Etc

From my sisters and brother...

I thought it was perfect just as it was. Then I flipped it over to see this...

My first glimpse of those bright blue eyes literally took my breath away.  I cried a lot after opening this unexpected gift, but it was a good kind of crying.

I'm so glad you liked it. I know it was an especially hard birthday for you. We wanted you to have something that was just a little reminder that you could keep close to you. I sure miss that little guy. I love you Marshy!!! You're the best sister anyone could ask for.

What a precious gift!

You have such a sweet spirit, Marsha. I just finished reading a lot of your older posts. How you have purposely maintained a God-centered outlook gives me chills. Your example is inspiring.

I love you, Marshy :) I wish I had words to tell you how much you mean to me and how much you inspire and encourage me (even when YOU should be getting the encouragement). You are amazing and wonderful and I am blessed beyond words to be your baby sister :)

First I drooled over your pie, and then I cried with you as my breath also failed for a moment. God bless your precious family! You are never far from my thoughts, even though I don't get to visit as often as I'd like. (((((HUGS))))) sandi

This is a beautiful gift, Marsha. How precious.

I want you to know I am thinking of you today, and I hope you have a sweet time with your family. May the LORD give you each reminders of joyous times, sweet memories to share and lots of laughs and giggles.

Here's to smelling the roses....
Happy Mother's Day
Love you,
Jacque

Posted by Annemarie

I have been praying for you more than usual this week...God has really been bringing you to mind. And today especially, I am praying that God will wrap you in His peace and give you His comfort.

I love the necklace. If it made me cry, I can only imagine the tears that it brought to your eyes.
