Laura's Day

Laura's birthday is today...I remember the love I
felt when I held her first. I told Daddy how responsible
I felt and how the love I felt hurt my heart. He told me
that my lord loved me many, many times over this
enormous feeling I had. I could not even imagine the love
that my Saviour had for me. The image gave me a great
understanding of "everything will be ok" for I have a
great Father in heaven on my side and taking care of me.
Today, he is patting my hand saying ..."fear no evil, for I
am here to comfort and take care of you".

Fleta wrote this poem about Laura about 10 years ago
and it sums Laura up pretty good!

Warm hearted lady

Tender, considerate

Always thinking of others

Caring, loving

Sweetness and light

A friend dependable and true

Standing for her beliefs

Without regard to what others think

Sunshine on a cloudy day!

The Lord sent sunshine to me with my first child. He

sent my second one as an anchor for my soul, a solid

rock to hold me fast and care for me. Laura shines

rays of sunshine on me and Erin holds me close with

an anchor! Whatever troubles come my way,I cannot

complain for I know I have had two great blessings

and it is enough for my lifetime, but alas, God added

more fold blessings to me....3 little girls to send

bubbles of joy to my heart!
