Happy Birthday Grace

My Beautiful Grace,

Happy Birthday, my leap year babe! 

When most think about their daughters turning 13 years, they think of them entering their teen years!  I think of you as a woman...the  wonderful, young lady  I have watch you become.

My life is beautiful because you are in it.  From the moment you entered the world, individuals started telling  Daddy and I  how beautiful you are.  It is true, but what Dad and I see is the beauty of your heart.  Focus on that beauty.  It is the only beauty that matters.

My life is easier, because you are in it.  You make my days successful by the help you give.  When a little one needs help, you lend a hand.  When a dinner needs made, you can come through with flying colors.  At the times when the laundry is piled high, you start to conquer the clothing mountain.  If that isn't enough, you are the first to volunteer to assist me in doing our least favorite job…groceries.  The list goes on and on and on.

My life is brighter, because you are in it.  You have always loved to talk and laugh.  You are like a ray of sun bursting through a cloud.

Thanks for your heart.  I can’t wait to see what the Lord has for you.  I don't tell you enough that I appreciate you. 

I Love You,
Mom
