at first glance, these two photographs don't seem to correlate to each other, but they were both given to me......and both I treasure..........one from my past.......and one of my future......
(protected love)
the one above, however, is part of me.........and the love my husband and I have for each other......and have dedicated my life to her protection and undying love.....
even if I had twelve children they would each be just as special, as are my five I protect and love now.......
Thanks for visiting Na-Da Farm for B&W Sunday.........

I have a plate just like that only in blue. It was my great-grandmother's. I treasure it. Your daughter is so beautiful. Our children are treasure from the Lord!!
ReplyDeleteOur hearts just continue to enlarge with each child delivered. Before children, I never could understand how a mother had enough love to go around to multiple children...then I became one, twice over, and understood!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Sunday and say a prayer for me. We have a sick one with probable H1N1. With Daddy on duty today, no Mass for me. :(
Blessings,
Valerie

I just adore the photograph of your daughter. ...I really thought that you had put up two photographs from the past...the one of your daughter could have come out of the last century....absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Sunday with your family and enjoy this coming week, Anne Marie. XXXX
