Thankful Sunday

I'm stating to do a Thankful Sunday every week because my mom says I should. I thought it was a good idea so now I'm doing it .


I am thankful for my family that God has given me. The wonderful smiles Em gives me everyday. For the laughter that Andrew and Olivia give me just about every day. And the things that Bella makes me do in gymnastics.



I am thankful for my friends for what they do to me every day." SOPHIE!! Hi! What do you want to do today at lunch time?!?!"


I am thankful for my parents who taught me to love and respect family first instead of my friends. "Family first" they'd say. "No matter how nice your friend is,family always comes first"that is another one that they'd say.



I do not seek the grandiose,
vast wealth nor glare of fame.
And when I'm gone, the odds are great
that few will know my name.





Though greatness I will not attain,
I'll do the best I can
with just the skills that God gave me,
for I'm a simple kid.





I'm thankful for the mixture both
of happiness and pain,
which lets me best appreciate
such goals that I attain.





I'm thankful for important things
that rate high in my life.
I'm thankful for my family
and a perfect,perfect life.





I thank God for the power of love
that makes our beings whole,
eliminates the blight of hate--
a threat to healthy souls.





I'm thankful that I still can hear
the songbird's throaty trill.
And color change in autumn's leaves
each year gives me a thrill.





So I give thanks each day to God
for blessings from His hand.
I'm part of God's great Master Plan
Even I, a simple kid.

Sophia, you made Mama cry with that beautiful, beautiful post. How I love you!!!!!! How happy I am that you are mine. You are amazing!

And to answer your question, I'm actually not sure what to tell you. If you are asking about the picture of the bull I posted, the only ones in the pictures are pieces of moms. Well you can just ask me later. Love you more!
