She came back to me with these treasures. I had told her she could take 10 pictures, so I can't show them all here. She is quite the little photographer!
You know, it's funny what kids find important and special. I was touched by some of her choices. It just goes to show that whether we believe it or not, our children look to us for everything- we are so influencial.
Enjoy the treasures of life from a 7 year old's eyes!
This is her most treasured personal belonging- her sister gave it to her for her birthday last year. This birthday was shared with a tribute to a most amazing man, my Grandfather. He died a couple months before, but his memorial service was held on her birthday in Orlando, FL. What an honor to share such a special day!!
I love this guy!! I won him at a mission auction our church hosts annually. He hangs at the entrance of my kitchen- I can't help but smile every time I see him.
This was made by my Great Aunt (I think). I love the colors and the pattern.
This is one of my most precious treasures. My dear Mom gave it to me several years ago. GASP!! Is that a chip on his chest?!! I must go check it out- I've never seen that before! Wonder if that happened right before the picture was taken....hmmmm...
This is our blessing tree. I think I promised a post about it- obviously that slipped through the cracks. This tree comes alive on our sunroom door every November. Every day each member of our family writes one things he/she is thankful for on a leaf and adds the leaf to the tree. By the end of November it is just glorious and before our eyes we can see our many blessings. I am always in awe at some of the things my kiddos write- Awesome!
In Him,
E
