Sharing the Loves of My Life

Happy Pink Saturday! For once, I am actually posting on a Saturday. I always seem to wait until the last minute on Sunday.

Beverly asked us to post what we love. So here is what I love, love, love!

My family! First, is my husband, Gary. The tall guy in the back. We have been happily married for 30 years! He is the best husband in the world. Then there are my beautiful children. In the back, next to my husband, is my son Rick. In front of Rick is Meredith. That’s Shannon with the dark hair in the middle. Last but not least, the pretty red head is Tracy. That’s me on the left, the shortest one.

My husband and I were married for seven years before God blessed us with children. God’s plan was a little different from ours. It usually is, isn’t it? We were praying for one baby, but God gave us FOUR.

Yep, all four at once! Three pink, one blue. God does bless abundantly!

I never, in my wildest dreams, could have dreamed this, but I thank God everyday for my children. Okay, there were some days and sleepless nights when I said, “Really, God?”

They were born six weeks premature. Rick had a few health problems, but he is fine now. God blessed us with an amazing family that was there to help us and relieve us.

When Beverly said, “The only requirement is sharing your love,” I knew immediately what I wanted to share.

These four kids have my unconditional love. I love them, and I look forward to the abundant amount of love to continue as they get married and have families of their own.
