A Day of Gratitude

by mommyonfire on February 26, 2010

Sometimes…

when I look at…

all four of you…(even when you are crying…)

I am dumbfounded…

by the proof of God’s goodness that you are.

On my darkest days, way back when, when I was uncertain of my plan, uncertain that there would ever be any goodness, you were always planned for me.

I have indeed been prospered.  I have absolutely been given hope.  And you were always my future.  Even way back then.  When it was just so dark.

The branches within me that did not bear fruit were cut.  The ones left behind were pruned.  And oh my… how they ever did grow in to be more fruitful.

Alright.  So I should have said all FIVE of you.  Please forgive me Princess Ellie Rose.

I should say so. That looks like FIVE beautiful faces to me. Oh, the graciousness of God can overwhelm me. I see this in your posts. I can’t wait to read more about your life. This is wonderful evidence of His kindness in it.

Blessings.

Too funny – she is my firstborn…

I am not sure that I would know if my family was not – I am quite biased…:)

Thanks for reading and for commenting!

Gosh, Natalie…what can I say?? You are such an awesome person. Amazing how in just a few pictures and words-you are able to open your heart and let everyone see exactly what’s inside…and then give us a little chuckle at the end. You’re one of my faves FOR SURE!!!

What a beautiful sentiment and post! Stopping by from SITS. Also, a perfect thing on a day of tragedy to be reminded of all the beautiful things in life that we should all take time to recognize!

Hey! What an adorable family!
Thanks so much for stoppin’ by my blog. I’m so happy you like the pizza recipe. They are delish! Those sandwich thins are the perfect little size too…especially for those little eaters.
Take care.
