When I look at the images
that chronicle my life so far,
my heart full as I count
the blessings with ten fingers, toes.
Three strapping sons, two adorable nieces,
a new baby on the way
to add to this full list.
So, each day, I carefully count.
Each day, I call their names.
Grateful they are my glorious treasures.
Matthew, Andrew, Joshua, Alexandra, and Allison.
Awaiting a new niece or nephew,
witnessing the start of another family,
another already loved blessing to join
this giggle-ly, wiggly chorus of happiness;
the children of our blessed family.

ReplyDeleteLove this line! There's a grou of six cousins on my husbands side of our family, and the photos of them growing up and growing closer trough the years has to be high on my list of blessings to count! With the oldest now 24, there's not much wiggling any more...but the giggling has not slowed down ~ not a bit!!
There is no greater blessing than family, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love the line 'three strapping sons' and I love that you name your blessings by given name. Great job!
