Thankful Thursday LOVE

 


When I saw this photo of my precious niece (Kennedy) I knew I wanted to use this as my Thankful Thursday photo.  

#1.  I am thankful for sunsets that stop you in your tracks and reminds you the even endings can be breathtaking.

#2. Thankful for hands lifted in love, shaping hearts in the sky without saying a word. 

#3. Thankful for family moments caught by chance that turn into forever memories.  

#4. Thankful for God's paintbrush, spreading pinks, oranges, and PEACE across the evening sky.  

#5. Thankful for quiet pauses, with the world slowing down and in recognizing that gratitude speaks loud. 

#6. Thankful for the beauty of the next generation, full of hope and wonder....and their open-hearted-joy!

#7. Thankful for love that shows up naturally...no posing required...just being present. 

#8. Thankful for reminders that there is still so much good to look forward to.  

Thankful for YOU...Kennedy!!

Big Love, 
Shug....

What a wonderful photo of your niece, Shug. And your "thankful" list is very special. I especially love number 5 and 7. Your side bar with the swirling colors and Header are so pretty. Those pink blossom trees are my favorite. I used to see them gracing my hometown in the Spring. They look perfect on your Header for Valentine's Day coming up. ; )
