Something I like about Olivia is that she is a good example for her siblings. Being the oldest is a tough gig and she is worth looking up to. I also think she has a warm and caring smile.
I've been a bit removed from blogworld since about my birthday time. School and life are coming down hard lately but I got to take a deliberate break today and come see. Much thanks to the uplifting from you all. Especially to you, "MomAnon"--I don't think I ever got to thank you more directly for your comments from a while ago! I am glad we are linked. Hopefully some day we can migrate to the east so we can hug you all!
Oh--and I think I owe a lot of who I am to my role as the oldest. It WAS a tough gig sometimes, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am really grateful. For that...
"I saw a pillar of light, exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, when the light rested upon me I saw two personages whose brightness and glory defy all description standing above me in the air, one of them spake unto me saying, pointing to the other, 'This is my Beloved Son, Hear Him.'"
Amen.
ReplyDeleteBeing the oldest must be a tough gig, but you made it look effortless! Thanks for always being a great example to the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteHow true.
ReplyDeleteYes, amen to all of the above!
ReplyDeleteWell, I just want to say amen to the amens and all of the above. :) I love Olivia's smile, it is infectious. Hugs, mom
