True Treasure
Some women find happiness in their work, some in their social status, some find their happiness in the things they own. But for me, I could not ask for anything more than what God has given me. Above all else in this life of mine, I adore my family. They are my greatest blessing and my most valued treasure. If you knew them the way I know them, you would know why! As I think about each of them, a few things come to mind.
The way his eyes still sparkle sometimes when he looks at me
The way that he keeps me grounded- things are black and white to him and me, well not so much
His playful spirit
The way he takes care of me- there are so many ways, but one that especially warms my heart is the way that he wakes me up every morning. He comes into the bedroom, with a cup of hot coffee and my medicine, gently helping me sit up in the bed with a warm hug and a kiss. Then he gives me my medicine. I can’t think of many better ways to be woken up!
Her smile and quick wit.
She has the most gentle spirit & tender heart.
She is such a worker- and if I want it done “right” she can handle it without a problem.
She has a submissive attitude and will do whatever I ask without complaint.
His sunshine personality and dimpled smile. Nothing melts mine and his sister’s hearts more than that little smile
His tenderness, he loves any kind of animal. He loves to bring his little treasures to me. There have been many times he has come in from outside with a handful of something, be it lizards, frogs, grasshoppers, you name it. It’s always interesting, I promise you!
He doesn’t mind being the baby of the family. Only sometimes, he will get on his sisters for calling him, “Baby” other times, he quite enjoys it.
I could go on forever but I won’t. Overall, I love my family, I love being with them, I am overwhelmed at times that God has given me such wonders. There is no one on this rich green earth that I would rather be with. I cannot understand the woman that wants to be anywhere but home. My home is my haven. It is the place where I find peace, joy, love, laughter, acceptance, encouragement and comfort. And for this I am most grateful.

Brittany, my 20 year old…
Her smile and playful spirit.
She has such a friendly personality, a “people person”.
Her creativity- I LOVE reading her blog. She has a wonderful way of writing and makes even the most boring things interesting.
She’s so good with children and they love her. She’s going to make a good mommy, she already understands the principles and ways of training. It warms my heart to see her working with them and guiding them in right.

McKenna, my 16 year old…
Her smile and crazy sense of humor.
Her servant’s heart- she’s a worker.
The sound of her piano playing in the background as I work around the house.
She is very good with children and I notice the way she sets her plans aside so she can read a book, jump on the trampoline or play with them.

Abigail, my 11 year old…
Her compassionate heart & warm spirit
Her love language is definitely touch & needs lots of hugs and encouragement
She is one who will be sure to make an elderly person in the church feel loved & special
She loves animals and babies. I’m sure she will make a good mommy one day!

Samuel, my 8 year old…
His tender heart, he tells me twenty times a day, “Mommy, I love you.” He always has and I hope he always will
The way he loves his little beagle, Copper.
The way he is so sweet to his little brother & takes care of him.
His sense of humor- he is always trying to come up with something funny to do.
He loves to “organize” things either to make his mommy happy or “just because”
