Daughters, Granddaughters and Goddaughters



When you face various trials, it is always good to stop and count your bountiful blessings! I have two daughters, three Goddaughters and soon to be four granddaughters.
This week, one of my Goddaughters and I shared the same day to celebrate our co-birthdays.
My niece, Jennifer graced my life by having the good sense to arrive in this world on my 19th birthday.
Last week, I met my younger daughter, Tacy, in the Highlands of Southern Virginia for a mother-daughter retreat to celebrate our spring birthdays. Time away in the beautiful mountains bedecked in white and pink dogwoods and red and yellow tulips was enchanting. We hiked, napped, talked while soaking in a hot tub and even lunched in a charming tea room.
I was blessed with photos of the three granddaughters and felt the 4th one kicking in her mother's belly. Her Grandpa and Grandma eagerly await the moment we can greet her gleefully with a "welcome to the world" kiss.
Thank you, Heavenly Father for blessing us over and over!
