I'm Blessed... for many reasons blessed.  But this week my most tangible blessing was my Mother-in-Law.  She came to visit us at the Lake for a vacation, but stayed because she knew how much I needed her.  

Giving From the Heart

(author unknown)

"A mother-in-law seems to specialize in doing thoughtful deeds,

Before you ask she understands your problems and your needs.

Quietly she does her best to help, inspire and cheer,

And everything looks brighter right away because she’s near.

She always has a lot to do but still finds time to spare,

To listen and to give advice because she really cares.

She helps because she wants to, she finds joy in being kind,

And making others happy is the first thing on her mind.

She makes this world a better place by practicing the art,

Of reaching out to others and by giving from the heart."

This Monday I am thankful for her, and the multitude of generous blessings she lavishes on the boys and me. 

Come back soon!
