Reflections

Today has been a day of reflections for me.  I'm nearing 46 and feeling like life has just swept by me.  I've done so much and have so much to be thankful for.  I don't know why I still feel like there is so much left to be done.  I pray daily that I live to a ripe old age (like 105)!  I pray that God will grant this prayer because there is still so much left for me to do and see....  I would like to see my children all married with children of their own.  I would love to see all of my girls in a place where their petty differences no longer matter!  This I pray with all my heart.  

My Grandson came to me earlier and made me smile..."Grandma," he said.  "Yes, Benjamin?"
He then says, " I'd like a healthy snack please. "  
"Ok..." I say , "what would you like?"
With a huge toothy grin, he says, "chocolate!"

Well, of course, you know I had to give it to him! I just couldn't deny that adorable little face smiling up at me!

These are the moments of my life that I can't do without.  I would love to have these moments everyday without end.  These are the blessings that are worth more than gold.  There is nothing on earth more valuable than such as this!
