It’s no secret we have a large family. Through birth and adoption, God has blessed us rather abundantly. And, it’s no secret that with a large family comes noise and chaos and a lot of demands and a general overall crazyness, lots of laughter, supporters at every turn, a hug at every corner, and never having to go through any of it alone.
Ohhhhh, I’ve had those days. Such a wonderful way you expressed it here. Thanks!
Thank you, thank you! I cringe every time I here that remark… It always comes from old ladies… why is that. But, like you I’ve realized how wonderfully fullfilling it is to have my hands full to the brim and overflowing (at times). I think that is what God has made us for, isn’t it? Anyway, I’ve taken to saying, “I sure do! Full of treasures!” But, I’ve also realized some people just don’t “get it” and for that I feel sorry for them. Thanks for the great reminder! Enjoy the season of fulness! Hugs.
Marci-
THANK YOU! “Cringe” That’s a GREAT word for my feeling when I hear it, as I never know if it is meant well of has an tone of judgement with it. Thank you so much!

Beautifully said.
So much grace.
Lately I have felt compelled to look right into their eyes and say, “I am so blessed, aren’t I?”
Hopefully I can get a smile, awkward or otherwise. Because I can’t imagine life any other way.
