I feel compelled to thank God...





for my 2 precious children. The past few weeks, I have come across several blogs of families who have lost children due to different things...and in all of their writings they thanked God for every minute (literally) that they had with the angels from heaven! I cannot, in my wildest nightmares, imagine something happening to either of my babies, and yet these words described how much they loved their Jesus and how grateful they were for all of their blessings...yet they have lost a child? Lord, I come to you now and thank you so much for the gift that you have given me in my precious girls! Life is so much greater because you have allowed me to be their mom. I know that I am not perfect and that I make mistakes on a daily basis...yet I ask that you fill with with your spirit and allow me to love them more than each minute before! What an awesome responsibility that you have given to me to grow them into beautiful women of God! I ask that you lead, direct and guide me constantly, so that I, in turn, can do the same with them! Allow me to overlook the "little things" that drive me crazy, so that I may fully enjoy all of that I love about each of them! Lord, I know that time flies and that they are growing up so fast, right before my very eyes. I ask that you give me the ability to savor each moment that I have with them, and a mind that will hold fast to each and every memory. God you have blessed me with some many things in my life...things that I certainly don't deserve but things that I am eternally grateful for. Two of the greatest blessings are that of my girls...Brenly Alyssa and Avery Ray!

I think since we have been "back together" :) I have had more tears from the sweet crap you say than in my whole life! That is a good thing, if you could not tell...
