It Makes Me Smile



It makes me smile when it is so clear God has answered a prayer.

It makes me smile when I remember my wedding day and how beautiful everything turned out.

It makes me smile when I remember the days I found out about each pregnancy.

It makes me smile when I remember holding each of our newborn babies for the first time.

It makes me smile that I have been married for fifteen years and it's still a good marriage.

It makes me smile when I see videos of our kids when they were little and they had those cute little voices.

It makes me smile when one of my kids says something funny.

It makes me smile when my husband says something funny as well.

It makes me smile when I look out my kitchen window and see flowers on the plants and green grass.

It makes me smile when the cat stretches and falls off of something.

It makes me smile when someone accepts the Lord as their savior.

I could go on forever and I'm sure you could too. Feel free to post your own "It Makes Me Smile" or leave some in my comments. SMILE!

  4. Visiting you makes me smile. These pictures make me smile, too. Sitting on my deck watching the stars and listening to the cicadas makes me smile too. So does smelling the butterfly bush each time a breeze comes by. And hearing the kids splash in the pool. And the smell of the salt water from the pool. And the sound of the kids settling into their beds. A good report at the dentist. And afternoon with friends over chick-fil-A fries...gee I think I could go on forever, too. Thanks for the therapy, Mocha Momma!
