Thankful for many candles. 50 years ago today, a girl and a boy sent flowers to their mother congratulating her on the birth of their baby sister. Flowers to my mom from my sister and brother.
The card read: “For our mommy. May these flowers be a message of eternal happiness in the company of our new little sister. With love, from your children.”
Some things are so worth keeping, don’t you think?
I have many things for which to be grateful on this Thankful Thursday. One more birthday, for starters. And the people. The people God has put in my life. In many ways, but especially in this way, I have been blessed beyond measure.
Thank you, God.
Your love, Jesus, is an ocean
with no shore to bound it.
And if I plunge into it, I carry
with me all the possessions
I have. You know, Lord,
what these possessions are—
the souls you have seen
fit to link with mine.
-St. Thérèse of Lisieux
