I'm thankful for a family who made my birthday yesterday delightfully special. I'm thankful for another year of knowing even more how amazing His grace is.
I'm thankful for children who join me joyfully in my birthday celebration.
I'm thankful for children who know what I love...chocolate and books. Always a perfect combination.
I'm thankful for Ink's sense of humor: "Um, you have over 400 items on your Amazon wish list." And he survived the search!
I'm thankful for children who LOVE tea as much as I do and for this lovely teapot that will grace my table each morning. I'm thankful for children who just can't stay out of the pictures. :)
I'm thankful for children who think the above of me. I'm thankful this bookmark didn't say, "Mother who loves to watch t.v. or spend time on the computer." It's God's grace that it didn't.
Thank you, my precious, precious family, for making my days an endless stream of Mother's Days and birthdays. I can never fully count the gifts you give me each day and the ways you bless me. I love you!
What a wonderful birthday celebration you had! Such a lovely family. You are going to love the vocation book by Veith.
ReplyDeleteKim,

Thank you, Jessica! Yes, it is a wonderful teapot and perfectly sized for my morning cups of tea. :)
DeleteHappy birthday, dear Trish!! Love all the photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandy! Your wish is a blessing!
DeleteHappy Birthday Trisha, love the cards the children made, I don't know if you are a "saver", (I am) I still have many of the cards my children made as little ones, they still make me smile even after all these years, such sweet memories. Glad you had such a nice birthday...always love your photos
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maryann! Yes, I'm a saver, too. :) It is wonderful to look back on what my older children made me when they were little. Hugs!
DeleteHappy belated birthday, Trish!!!! I love how your children know your taste in reading. :)
ReplyDeleteTrisha not Trish
Delete(that's what comes of typing too fast and not editing. :))
Oh, Persis, you make me laugh. It's ok to call me Trish...a few people do. Thank you for the birthday wish, and yes, that one bookmark about my favorite authors was a sweet surprise.
DeleteHappy Birthday sweet friend. How I wish I would have known I would have sent you a card or something in the mail. I am so glad that you had a blessed day with your family. I loved the tea pot so very pretty. Love you sweet friend. We need to plan a time to meet now too-I would love to be able to hug your sweet neck one day as well. :)
ReplyDeleteMay this year be one full of blessings especially with your new little bundle. Happy Birthday.
Love you
Jill
Jill, thank you, my friend! I would love to hug your neck, too. I'm counting on doing that one day!
DeleteWhat a lovely birthday!!! :D Happiest Belated to you! Whew...I have like 367 items on my wishlist. ;) LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Only 367? You're a bit behind. Get movin'! LOL! I told my son that my Amazon wishlist is my second brain. "Oh, yes, I forgot I needed that." HA!
Delete;) LOL! I call it "free shopping". My hubby thinks it's hilarious. I get a shopping urge and I go add things to my wishlist. It's a cheap hobby! :D
DeleteHappy Birthday Tricia! I love the teapot!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You have great taste in teapots. :)
DeleteHappy belated Birthday, Trisha! You are so blessed! I love the five back scratches' coupon and that beautiful teapot. Of course, the smiles and hugs are priceless and so is that carton of Whoppers candy! :-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Petra! Yes, I am so grateful for this amazing family God has given me. And I love your eye for detail...how many others noticed those Whoppers? Malted milk balls were my official craving when I was pregnant with Ink. LOL!
DeleteWhat a wonderful birthday! You have such a lovely family. Happy belated birthday, friend! Love you!
