Friday's Favorite Five: Gifts

It's a beautiful day, whether the sun falls or soars, whether the fog lifts or puddles at my feet, whether God takes or gives because He knows just what I need!

Five favorite gifts:

1. My Parents. Though God has taken them, He's given me His gift of memories - loving memories.

2. My husband. A special gift. An overflow of God's heart, flowing from my beloved's heart to mine and from mine to his. "The LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Psalm 118:23




4. Sons and a daughter-in-law. A heritage from the Lord; the fruit of my body. His merciful reward!  God's gifts for a stronger faith and a sweeter fragrance.

and daughter-in-love holding her daughter.

His merciful reward, another son!

5. Grandchildren. Grace after grace, a crown of rejoicing!

Heart of my heart's heart.

And from His fullness more grace.

Thanks, friends!
