I Promised Not to Cry...

....and so I won't.

He left today, but he just called: and he is almost home now, and WELL,

and I am HAPPY, thankful beyond words that he is.

As for God, his way is perfect:

the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Psalm 18:30

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIGLIT!!

Happy Birthday to you,
you live in a zoo,
you look like a monkey,
and you smell like one too!
*
(sung with nothing but feelings of love and adoration
on the occasion of my most beloved Piggy-Piggy-Piglit's nineteenth birthday!!)
* She is THE SWEETEST,
MOST WONDERFUL,
FANTASTIC
sister you could EVER dream of. *
I always said I wouldn't marry until I found the male version of her.
She's THAT wonderful =)
(and I did find a man that matched her wonderfulness and only-oneliness)
* She's always been my bestest friend, my favourite play mate,
she acts the big sister when I don't,
she's the baby sister I get to comfort.
*I've been IN LOVE with her since the first time I saw her,
square-faced, pink n' pretty,
laying in that tiny hospital bed, with her little pink teddy bear beside her
(rightfully named "Rosa", meaning PINK),
I was two years old and touched her very carefully, just as instructed.
*
She was the CUTEST.
She IS the cutest.
*
I was a little mad, I'll admit, when I showed her my beautiful ballerina paper dolls I had cut out myself, and she grabbed them (like three year olds can) and banged them on the table, attempting to make them dance like I could.
But, hey, that's a long time ago now...
*
She tells me my house will be filled up with paper when I have little children,
because I can't bring myself to throw away the tiniest piece of paper that SHE has written on,
HER sweet little drawings of princesses or beagels with hats.
HER little yellow chickens.
*

She is so precious to me. So beautiful when she's asleep.
And she's growing into a hardworking,
diligent,
accomplished little homemaker,
and I can't wait to see who that lucky guy will be!!!
*
*
Happy birthday, Ingvild! I'm so glad God made you.

Aller Käraste Syster!!

SO... How may I show thankfulness??

Trying to come up with a list here,

and tomorrow I'll live my list =)

.

*Thanking God each morning for another day of this wonderful life...

.

*Saying "thank you" to my mama for making me breakfast each and every morning, even going out of her way to make the food I like best!

.

*Smiling and being happy eating supper

.

*Thanking my family for the little ways they serve me

(especially now when I need it so much because of my hands)

as often and as lovingly as I would a stranger

.

*Say out loud what I'm thankful for whenever I'm not around people

.

*Mentally thank God for every person I meet with during the day

.

*Making up a song about all my blessings, and sing it, adding new blessings along the way =)

.

.

I like my list, I'll practice it tomorrow!!

Can't wait =) =)
