Children Are A Gift White snow landscapes cover the ground yet within such beauty is to be found. Children building men made of snow eyes lit up and little faces aglow. Listening to laughter as they play bringing happiness into the day. Sneaking up, oh no, snowball fight playing until the absence of light. Rushing in with their noses red cocoa and toast, now they're fed "Mom your the best, hope you know can we go back out to play in the snow?" Children are a gift from God above fulfilling our lives with joy and love. Little form now asleep upon feather bed God, thank you for her, is all that I said. revised 11-9-02 If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... {On wings of words our spirits fly~ and our souls are free. ~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (11-09-2002 08:46 AM).] |

Hi Donna '...Children are a gift from God above fulfilling our lives with joy and love...' Indeed they are and indeed they do. I just loved this as it reminded me so much of our children when they were little. They loved to play and dig and sled in the snow. The boy's favorite activity was to dig and make snow forts. Thank you for the memories along with my tea this morning. Marti "I am not afraid of STORMS |

What happens to us that when we grow we look to the cold as a burden where innocents see uncomplaining fun? Enjoyed |

Donna, since my son was born, I've known more smiles and laughter than I think my life ever contained before. I love him dearly, as I know you love your own. He's always called me his best friend. This is quite beautiful, my friend. : *hugs* The stars will shine when I am gone, |
