A Pearl

My daughter, Margaret, turned fifteen today.

Margaret's name means "a pearl".

Margaret's name fits her perfectly.

She is beautiful and she is precious.

I have always been especially thankful for Margaret.

Her verse is:
"Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits,
even the God of our salvation."
(Psalm 68:19)

Thank you, Lord, for Margaret.

Day Nine - Gifts from God:
1.  the way she raised her little eyebrow right after she was born
2.  her kindness and compassion
3.  the way she looks at you with those big brown eyes
4.  her laugh
5.  the way she chooses to enjoy life
6.  her full-out amazing soccer ability
7.  the way she can belt out a song beautifully from somewhere deep inside her
8.  that she wasn't in her bed when her door fell in and the window broke
9.  that she laughed and took a picture of it
10.  that she brings out the best in us all

I love you Margaret!
Happy Birthday!

With gratitude,
Sally
