One Thousand Gifts: 1-5

#1

The man I don't deserve, but have been married to for 9 years, becoming a Christian in the last 2 years.

#2

The pregnancy I thought I never would have. That led to the beautiful twin boys they didn't think would make it when I was admitted to the hospital at 23 weeks and 1 day with preterm labor. Yet, after 3 1/2 months on complete bed rest they were born weighing over 6lbs each. Healthy, beautiful, and a true miracle that I could see & hold...and I've been holding onto them ever since.

#3

The daughter I always dreamed of having who exceeds all expectations. She is everything I wish I could be, and then some. I believe she will change the world. No, I know she will.

#4

The blessing of my youngest daughter who lights up a room and makes my heart sing. Who loves her Mama, her Daddy, her sister and her brothers. Maybe she knew how much we all prayed for the blessing of her?

#5

The house we labored over custom building for the past two years, that has now become our fixer upper, since the day we moved in. It is what is going to grow me. It is what is going to stretch me. It serves as a reminder that nothing is perfect on earth (no matter how hard I work) and this is not our true home and our true dream home is in heaven with Him. I know that, I believe that. I guess I just needed a big ole (expensive) reminder to help me remember.
