My Heart

I planned to do an Easter post next, but I haven't had a chance to work on the photos from Easter, so it'll be a while yet... And I just had to share the following:

Thankfully, our "hearts" aren't really the same physical hearts that beat in our chests. I say this because my "heart" has been doubling in size a lot lately. If my "heart" was in my chest I would not be able to fit through a door for the size it would render me.

My ever-enlarging heart has to do with so many wonderful factors, but mostly because of the daily blessings of my daughters. Katelyn has such a wonderful and big heart -especially for a 2 year old!!! And Grace is already so social and sweet -holding her is like heaven in my arms.

This is just a quick little example from yesterday: Katelyn and I were on the couch watching the Disney movie, Cinderella. She got on my lap and cuddled up with me. I kissed her cheek and she turned around and put her hand on my cheek and tenderly looked right at me and said, "I love you too Mommy. I love you really much." I am SUNK!!! This love boat's goin' down!

And Gracie is just an amazing smiler. Katelyn had a wonderful smile and she smiled a lot, but Gracie is the biggest smiler I have ever seen. Even when she's upset and in need of something or hurting (like when she has a rash) she stops crying and flashes warm smiles at me as I care & interact with her. My real heart skips a beat sometimes when I have the joy of receiving one of her many gorgeous smiles!

I just feel so blessed and God's love is ever-present in my heart. I just had to share.
