| Posted by Michele Schottelkorb on 02/26/04 at 03:35 PM isn't that incredible... vivid imagery laces this incredible truth, spoken in rapid tongue... one time i accompanied my husband and his family to church and watched as my then 2 year old daughter twirled and swirled down near the bottom of the stage with the other children... for this i smiled and for this, i read faith-based stories to my knowledge hungry 4 year old... and for this little bit of heaven that you have written, i am smiling... brilliant in form and manner... blessings... |
