My Baby Turns 10

The tears are close at the surface this morning as we celebrate my sweet girl's birthday morning with number 10 pancakes, presents, and family fellowship. What a tremendous blessing this daughter of mine has been in my life. There is not a moment or a day that I don't live in God-glorifying thanksgiving for her life becoming a part of mine!

Her gifts were as varied as she is and included a handed down gift from her Nana originally -- a beautiful sapphire and diamond cross necklace originally given to me as a young wife.

She also received a half gallon of vegetable glycerine along with tincture bottles and an herb book for her to experiment with "officially" this summer. Herbalism has been a hobby of hers for a few years and so I thought it might be time to actually put her learning to practice. A new "farm girl" with horse picture t-shirt is sure to well used as well as presents of both fun and usefulness given lovingly by her brothers rounded out her morning.

Happy happy birthday to my precious daughter -- a gift from God and a ray of sunshine into the lives of so many. We are truly blessed!
