Small Treasures


I treasure clean little babies!
I treasure those moments when all of my children, or any combination thereof, are playing together peacefully or helping one another out.
I treasure my 'job' as a mom. God is so very generous!!

I treasure those fake little smiles kids learn to put on for all the pictures their parents insist on taking
and the real ones even more.
I love warm summer days and time with the Grandparents.
I treasure those cool autumn days too.
I love the change of the seasons.
I treasure this strong, gentle, silly, sober, carefree, responsible, hard-working, faithful companion and best friend. I also treasure the father he is to our children. My cup runneth o'er!
I treasure the friendship I have with my amazing mother and my dear sisters! I treasure our lone brother who always had to put up with us. I treasure the gift of wonderful in-laws, not many people can truthfully say that; I can. I treasure my father and wish all the best for him, that he would allow the best in. I treasure my step-dad who has become such a great friend to us all. I treasure good friends all over and am grateful for all they teach me along the way.
Most of all, I treasure the knowledge I have of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, restored in its fulness in these latter days. To know that Christ lived on this earth, the perfect Son of a Perfect God; that He died for all of us and rose again. And to know, perhaps most of all, that He lives and loves us still! Small, simple treasures that have the grandest impact of all.

Amen to that. I too am greatly blessed and I can only hope that I do my Heavenly Father justice with the small miracles that I see in my life everyday.

So I am reading your post and crying and Nikki sneaks up behind me and asks why is Enzo's mom making me cry? I guess I am an emotional wreck these days. Loved your post, love you and your family. And I love the picture of you and your hubby hugging and how you are on your tippy toes. So cute!
