Today as I was blogging, I went to close my laptop and there staring at me was my Beautiful Blessings...They weren't there physically in front of me, it was this picture of them which is also my wallpaper on my laptop. I took this picture of them on Resurrection Sunday morning, before we left to serve our Risen Savior. I have been so Blessed by the Lord. My husband and I didn't even meet until I was 32. I had two miscarriages before HE Blessed us with our twins (Emma (with glasses) and Christian ) I have a twin brother too!!! Then a year later HE Blessed us with number three(Abigail in pink sweater)......Then two years later HE Blessed us with Hannah.....We had always left our family size in the Lords hands Psalm 127...Then over the next two years I had two more miscarriages, one was at 20 weeks, that one was really hard because I delivered her...Then two more years went by and we found out I was pregnant. The Lord Blessed us with Nehemiah. I share this with you today because I wanted all my readers to know how Blessed I am. So many times as a mom I find myself going through my day with my kids, forgetting to stop and Thank the Lord for ALL HE has Blessed me with. I would love to hear how the Lord has Blessed you!!!

Wow! I am so pleased that I found your blog - I've just been doing a bit of bloghopping! Great to hear how the Lord has blessed you! Praise God! your children look lovely! thanks for sharing your story and Psalm 127! It's a great Psalm :) The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband, a home and a job.. as yet we have no children but God willing one day we might - as you say - that is in his hands!! I am encouraged by your blog and hope it's OK to add a link on my blog to yours.
you ARE blessed! you have a wonderful looking family, and I bet your children are blessed too because you seem like a wonderful mommy. tfs!
Your post made me smile. I didn't realize that your baby was a toddler! You have such a wonderful family- thanks for sharing your story with us.
Your children are so beautiful. I love seeing pictures of them. You certainly have been blessed with your 5 children and your husband.
I was very blessed when I had ny daughter, son, 3 granddaughters and again when I met my husband and helped him to raise his 3 children. We now have 4 grandchildren from them making that 7 extra blessings. :) I could write a book with all of the blessings that have been bestowed me. Thanks for reminding me that I forgot to be very thankful today.
Hugs,

What a beautiful family you have. You truely are blessed. I am a friend of your Moms. I went to school with her and knew you when you were little.
Oh my, Lisa. I am laughing so very hard! I have vertigo right now so my thinking is off. But how funny! No I didn't go to school with your Mom, it was your sis. I am soooo silly.
You are very blessed.
Lisa,
Along with you and others, I am very blessed. I am so in love with my hubby. As you know, a few years ago I couldn't say that. God is so faithful. It is only through Him that I can say it now.
You also are a blessing to me. I enjoy you sunny smiles and positive attitude. You are one of the people I look forward to seeing on Sunday.

It is so Wonderful to hear you talk of all your children as blessings.
My husband and I are blessed with 5children as well....a set of twin girls in there too. They are all grown up now...all kind, thoughtful and loving individuals I must say!!
My husband is a blessing as well....married 35 years this August!! God is Good!!
Thank you for sharing that Lisa. The Lord really does know what He's doing, doesn't He? It's all HIS timing, not ours. I have learned this over and over again, and it just seems that I need to be reminded. My beautiful babies came when He knew they needed to be here and not a second sooner. I longed for a DD but it just didn't seem to be in the plan for me. Then, at a most unexpected (and very difficult) time in my life/marriage, we were blessed by Him with our DD. He knew the yearning of my heart, and choose to give me this gift when it was His perfect time.
