hey y'all,
in keeping with my theme of giving thanks each day this week, i'd like to share how thankful i am for family. my first family.
i was born (yawn!!!) ... okay, i promise this won't be my life story. i'll save that for another post. heh heh
but seriously, i was born into a loving, affectionate home and family. my daddy was an army man (that's what i called it) and my mama was a hard-working full-time mother. over the years, she worked outside the home as well.
my parents instilled many different things in me, but the most important thing i remember is how much they loved me. no matter what. i always knew i was loved. i lost my dad in 1988 and my mother in 1993. not a day goes by that i don't think of them and miss them. but i know that their love for me endures.
my sister belinda (nee-nee, as i called her) is 3 1/2 years older than me. as a little girl, i always looked up to and admired my sister. i wanted to be just. like. her! if she wore something, i wanted to wear it too. if she took piano lessons, then by gosh, i wanted to also. i'm not sure i've ever told her, but she was always one my heroes (heroines!). and still is. i'm thankful that i have a big sister like her.
The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings. ~~Henry Ward Beecher
love and hugs,

Your family pictures are so sweet. The one of you and your sister on the couch-you look like a doll baby. These pictures look like the ones of me and my sister. We are 18 months apart.
I am thankful for my relationship with God. I couldn't live without Him. My favorite verse is Phillipians 4:6 which basically says "Pray about everything, worry about nothing".
Daily postings of thankfulness is a good idea!
Beautiful family pics terry lee. How cool that you and your sis were and still are so close. I'm close with mine too although we dont really get to see each other as often as we'd like to.
I'm thankful that I'm physically able to get myself out of bed each day,even on days when I feel like staying under the covers and never coming out. For the capability to take care of my physical needs and to try my best to care for the ones I love. For the blessings of health in my family and that hope I have that we will endure for many more years.
Have a good day terry lee, I'm enjoying these daily posts of the good things in our lives. Hugs, Betty.
"Sisters, sisters...there were never such devoted sisters." Hope you recognize that song from "White Christmas." :) Love your post and the pictures. Very sweet, Terry Lee.
