*love*ly things- i feel...

lately i feel content.

content with being a mother.

content with a new and unexpected opportunity. with change.

content that my family is together for right now. holding on to these moments tightly.

content in the certainty that i'm on a path that will make me happy.

content with having four precious girls.

content with loving someone with all of my heart, and knowing that i'm just as loved in return.

i'm happy. so very happy.

and i'm in love with life right now. still learning, deciding,wondering about so much. but so very blessed. and content.

happy thursday!

I am the most ridiculously emotional person. I am crying as I read this. Sometimes I need a reminder of these things...all of which I loved reading! ((HUGS))

[Erin R.]

You put my thoughts into words (well, except the four kids (I have two, unless you count my two dogs).) :o) I'm cherishing this crazy time because it is so very fleeting. And, GORGEOUS picture btw.

Scripture tells us to be content in what ever state we are in. When we find contentment we find a huge blessing.
