The Blessings of a Big Family
The blessings of a big family are only seen by a few A few of the chosen ones that God has given this blessing too
The blessings are so numerous it’s hard to even start to number or to name them but they all hold a place in the heart
The heart of every person in a big family is unique it’s uniqueness makes us special and should not be critiqued
The memories that are made are more precious than gold from babies to weddings from young and to old
From grandparents to grandchildren and everyone in between the many special relationships that are built and could have never been foreseen
Thank you God for my big family I will treasure through the good times and bad the memories could not be measured
Thank you God for birthdays, simple get-togethers and even the tears for I pray that these blessings last many, many more years
To have a big family can be a lot of work, not just play but life is too short so I THANK GOD FOR MY BIG FAMILY TODAY!
