1000 blessings (37-50) FAMILY

37. My Caleb man. He lives with us all still. He brought us so many things. His quiet and sometimes loud gentle spirit was such a calming for us. If you could take yourself away from the world and come into his for just a moment, you'd enter into a heavenly place where Jesus was close and Caleb was worshiping and there was just a peace that you couldn't explain....I love him and can't wait to see him again.




38. My girl is talking! After having a child that was limited in so many ways, I don't take these things for granted. Thank you for a healthy baby girl!

39. My faithfulness. She has such a unique presence in this house. I know that she isn't wired like the rest of us and she does quite well at dealing with all of us crazy people!

40. Isaiah the pisaiah the sourie. She is such a help. she loves to help me find order....which this family needs so much! She stays focused on the task at hand and finds her own satisfaction in a job well done.

41. My son Noah, noah noah....His heart is so good. I can't imagine him intentionally being mean or wanting to hurt someone. His passion for things is something we all need. I pray that he will become all that God intends for him.

42. My son Caleb. He was an angel sent to earth. He came with a purpose. To do the will of His Father. pure in heart and pure in spirit, Caleb lives in our hearts still.

43. My hubby, Joe. We are so different. Last night, I was amazed how God saw how we would grow and mature from eachother. He spurs me to be a better person, more patient, more steady, more logical rather than so emotional.

44. My mom. Tonight, I saw her laying on her couch so tired and sick. I take her for granted. How much she loves my kids as her own, how giving she is....I love her with all my heart

45. My dad. God is so at work in his life. I know that it's up and down for him, but he has come to know the Father more and more. He has learned to come just as he is and sit at his father's feet.

46. My sister. The definition of a true friend. I can trust her. She has my best interest at heart. She loves me, for me. I can be me and that's enough....even if I laugh at the draperies in Walmart and speak with silly accents infront of certain people....that's okay.

47. My brother in law. My sister's hubby. The spaz of the family. He's so great for us. We've never had a spaz.....I mean-a productive one....LOL. He gets things done and helps to encourage us all to face our fears. Since my sis has been with him, she has only changed for the better. I love him. If I could have picked a brother, he would be the perfect one!

48. My mother in law. I honestly can't sum up all that this woman is. Again, another odd match-her and I....but God has made the two of us close. We are so different, yet we learn and grow from eachother. She invests in our kids, loves them so much....we are so blessed.

49. My sis in law. We've had our bumps. God knew what he was doing when He matched me to the Waldherr's. She is so extremely compassionate. She has a special gift to feel what others are going through and she responds with such kind care. I wish I could be as selfless as she is.


50. My father in law. I've never met anyone like him before! He values family and is a giving man. I'm hoping to join him in his passion for running. He has invited me to go on a 5 km run this fall. Here is this 68 year old man able to run farther and faster than me!!! GO DAD!

51. My niece and nephew. Jonah ponah sonah conah lonah. So special to me since she was in mommy's tummy! I honestly honestly see her as my own daughter. My blood, so close to me....her destiny is so amazing. I can't wait to see what God does in her life. Daniel paniel.....what can I say....he's AWESOME! I've never loved another boy as much as him (other than my 2 sons of course) He captures me. He steals my heart. I just sit and stare in awe of this little man....
