Greatest Gifts

Just stop and take a breath.  Relax and focus.  What is really important, I mean really important?  It is so silly to me sometimes the things that we can get caught up on or distract us from Him.  The things that make all the wonderful things in our lives seem less wonderful.  I am so lucky that God has given me these boys to spend my days with, there is nothing more surreal than the love of God, and the rejuvenating love of our children.  He didn't promise it was going to be easy, in fact the biggest rewards come with faith and the hardest work put in.  I am not claiming I need a trophy, but I sure got 3 of them!  Oh I guess Chris too, love you!

Children Are A Gift From God
by Sandra Tolson

God sent me three packages
That needed special care
"Take care of these tiny gifts
For they are very rare."

"Watch over them with all your love
And let them feel your touch
Take care of their every need
For you are needed very much."

"These gifts will grow up very fast
As you soon will see
Love them with all your heart
And let them be what they will be."

"When these gifts have fully grown
Look at Heaven up above
Know they exist because of God
And all his precious love."
