What is the most precious gift you've ever received?

That is beautiful Jellen, and I'll add my children, who are true gifts from God.

Thank you so much for your kind words, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with these values anymore, nice to know I'm not. Thank you so much, really. I would certainly have coffee with you if distance permitted, :).

Sometimes I too think I, and a few others I am blessed to have in my life (only a few!), am the only one! Thank God for the Internet, where we can connect with like-minded others we can share with . . .

I like you, respect you and admire you so much I'd have you over for a coffee if I could! I have thought and spoken these words so much to my children they can't stand to hear them anymore! But hear them they will, because I feel it is the most important job I will ever have, and could never forgive myself if I let them down. Being decent is the number one character trait I've tried to pass on, and sometimes they get shat on on a daily basis because of it. But that's okay, I tell them, come back in ten years to see where the shatters are compared to them, and they will see that my words were true! You go, Mama!

Thanks for stopping by and I am so happy for you. To know your blessings and be thankful for them is will take you far.

You are very blessed to have him, as he is to have you!

Beautifully and thoughtfully stated! And your children are lucky to have you!

I pray and wish the same for you.

Then you are better off than many! Sometimes people never find God, no matter how hard they try. Thank you for responding and my best to you in all.

Wonderful!

They are beautiful! You are truly blessed!
