Today (or laaate tonight!) I am thankful for....

my silly, sweet daughters, who stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish a new jumper for me for Mother's Day!

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!

And for the wonderful cards I got, the coupon for molasses cookies, and the lovely vase of lilacs in my master bath window!

And for the one who is a mama's helper to another family these past two weeks--I really miss her!   (Miss you, Jessica!)

And for the cute little boys that fight over every tractor, truck, firetruck...both just have to have the same thing!!!  

But I adore them just the same!

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.  

I am grateful for the 14 He took Home with Him--they are not "lost" but I will spend Eternity with them!  Because of Him!

Yes, I have much to be grateful for this week!  

The wonderful blessing of FAMILY!!!

What are you thankful for today?  This week?
