the beauty of my family

the beauty of my family. that's what's on my mind right now. it seems that i was not  blessed to have an optimistic attitude naturally like my husband, but God made me just the way i am for a reason. however, if i put my mind and heart into it, i can learn to be optimistic. i'm saying all of that to say that is one thing that i love about my husband, and man does he help me! such a precious joy to have him in my life. He is level headed (thank God!) and he is very patient. and, then there is sarah. what can i say, the girl is cut out of the same pattern as me. sassy creativeness, and love for art and music just covers her from head to toe. to me her red hair fits her personality. she is full of life, loves to have a good time with her friends, and amazingly seems most comfortable in front of a crowd, singing and playing her guitar. she is a precious part of my beautiful family. abigail (abbie) is my sunshine. she is an unbelievable artist (of course a mother would say that)last night (march 15, 2011) we went to the art show at fairmont high school in kettering. abbie has 3 pieces in the show. she made her mother very proud.....i was blown away! i am looking forward to hanging her pictures on a wall in our house. abbie definitely has a natural talent. abbie as well loves the computer, some day she wishes to go into animation....if she stays on this road, i believe the sky is the limit and yes she is a precious part of my beautiful family. well, i suppose i have spent my entire blog "bragging" about my beautiful family. they were on my mind, and to me what a wonderful blessing to think about. i need to do more of recognizing the blessings that are staring me right in the face, blessings that i see each day and learn not to take them for granted. thank you God for such a beautiful and loving family. i guess sometimes a mom just has to brag :)
