She is blessed

Sent to this earth;
You were saved through the ages for this day
and time;
Child of great worth,
Child of promise, daughter of the Divine.
Pure and holy in a little, white dress.
You were held in a circle and you were blessed.
And the Father looked down,
And the angels surrounded that place;
They knew the truth, all that you could do;
And you will, too, if you have eyes to see,
What heaven sees in you...

Jenna is such a joy! She is content almost always and full of smiles to remind me how blessed I truly am. Speaking of being blessed, she was blessed.  By her father. Held in a circle and blessed to be a peacemaker and a beacon of light to those around her. To be a rock of unwavering faith and to possess a countenance that can calm hostile situations.  Oh what these little children will have to endure in their lifetimes.  As a mother it makes me shudder to think. 
But for now I can and will hold them close to me and love on them as much as I can!

My mother made the dress, which all 3 girls wore for their blessings.  My mother-in-law crocheted the afghan that all 4 kids were wrapped in on their blessing day.  And a loving and giving God made those adorable little feet and toes for me to admire for hours on end every day. 


(can you tell I'm feeling really sentimental today!)
