Thoughts on a Day: Daughters



July 31, 1991, Daughters

I am blessed with five daughters. What a joy to one who knew only the male gender while growing up. Yes, the gracious Lord allowed me motherhood of three. From their first baby cry to their wedding day I hope my influence has helped them some. As I watch them be loving wives and mothers I can see some inplaced qualities they mirror of me. Yes, they are my daughters.

I have two stalwart sons. And what have they given me? More than joy as the way they live. More than joy as they serve their God. More than joy as they provide for their families. More than joy as they are efficient loving fathers. More than joy at their potential to become.

The greatest joy they have given me are two more   daughters, not by birth but by marriage. They are choice special loving girls. They are not mine just by in-law rules. They are as my own flesh and blood daughters lovely, loving, sincere, spiritual, motherly, intelligent, creative and ambitious. Oh words can go on forever to list their qualities. 

All my daughters, five of them, rate very high on the scale of my neighbors, friends, and world standards. But most of all they are highest on my standard and I know they are much higher on the standard of God.

Bless them always Ja Layne, Kami, Marne', Dianne and Annette. And especially bless their daughters to have great qualities richly inherited.
