Generations

I took this photo so I'm not in it, but here are my parents with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren from my side. They had a great time together.

I am Thankful for...

I am thankful for my daughter, Lydia, my daughter-in-law, Karen, and my "adopted" daughter, Wanda, who are marvelous, incredible moms. They each have strengths they bring to motherhood, gifts given by God, just for the nurturing of the young lives in their care. I am so proud of the women they have become!

This song expresses the truth of their weary days and the reward to follow.
