Today, on Kalyn's 21st birthday, with her away at college, my simple pleasure is. . .pictures to look at and remember all the joy she has given to our family.
The moment she was born, I actually clapped my hands! She has been a true pleasure to us all of her life!
It is also a simple pleasure to talk to her on the phone.
It's a simple pleasure to count the days til she'll come home next weekend.
It's a simple pleasure to thank God for how beautiful she is inside and out, and for the way He uses her everyday. I BELIEVE He has an awesome plan for her future!
It brings me pleasure each day just to think, "What are my simple pleasures this week?", and I've been thinking. . ."hugs". . ."Hugs from our granddaughter, Madasyn. . .hugs from my husband. . .hugs from each of our kids. . .hugs from students. . .hugs from friends. . ." I should have saved this one for Valentine's Day week, but I didn't. I may have to use it again!
Give someone a hug today! It's an easy way to give them a simple pleasure!
Happy birthday to your lovely daughter!!

sweet... nothing like a mother--daughter love
ReplyDeleteOh Happy Birthday to your girl! Truly the Lord has blessed you with such a wonderful daughter and having a close relationship is truly Divine!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm my friend!! Love you!
She is a beautiful girl, isn't she, Sandy?! Oh, my gosh...I can't imagine your feelings of celebrating her birthday with her away. I didn't go away, didn't go to College, even. I grabbed up a job in my little old home town - right across the field from where I grew up, where my mom and dad lived. I imagine my oldest not going far from us, either. He wants to buy the house next door, so he says :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 21 years to you, Sandy :)
What a treasure you dd must be. And I can relate to a child far away. For a short time my 1ds and his new bride are close by but may not always be. I LOVE hugs! They are a HUGE simple pleasure. And it was such a good reminder not to take them for granted.
ReplyDeleteBlessings in Him<><
