Thankfulness

Posted on November 24, 2011 by thisnest


My eyes behold the most breathtaking works of art…the faces of our children.

My ears take in the most beautiful music…the laughter of our children.

My nose inhales the most fragrant aroma…the sweetness of our children.

My hands envelope the most precious potential…the hands of our children.

My neck is adorned with the most valuable treasures…the arms of our children.

My heart inhabits the most sacred dwelling…the hearts of our children.

My life produces the most important legacy…the lives of our children.

My blessings are abundant. My soul is filled with joy, even in the midst of chaos. I am so grateful knowing that health and happiness are showered upon us daily. Today is a day to be thankful…but I know that, really, everyday is Thanksgiving in This Nest.

Happy Thanksgiving, Family. Be blessed.

    I love you, and am so thankful that you love your children as much as I love mine. You are a blessing. I love my grandchildren as much, also. Continue to be blessed. Love, Momma
