Things that make me go awww...

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched,
they must be felt by the heart."
~Helen Keller  

A few of the things which touch my heart.   These can be seen or I couldn't show them to you, but I think they will make you go awww . . .  too.



This adorable felted bunny from LoveLingZ on Etsy.  It's so cute.   I know it would be another dust collector and I can't afford little fancies like this any ways, but looking at it make me sigh . . . it's so adorable.

This is a beautiful photograph and even more so because of the story behind it. It is an amazing story of twin baby girls. One baby was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought to put them in the same incubator. The stronger baby wrapped her arm around her sister, and her touch allowed the struggling baby's heart to stabilize and her temperature to return to normal.  Truly amazing and it is a true story.  You can read more about it here.  Those girls are a lot older now!  They are 17 and beautiful.



Having that special some one . . . be it a friend or a lover, a church,  or whatever.   Just having that special person or place in your life that makes you feel . . . this way.



Being a mother and now a grand-mother.   From the time I was a little girl, all I ever wanted to be was a mother.  That was my primary goal in life.  I admired women like June Cleaver and Aunt Bea, because they were mother/aunt/caregivers to those precious souls that are children.  Even though they were fictional characters, they were my role models.  I loved each of my babies before they were born.  I guess you could say I loved them from the time I was a little girl, as I was growing up and preparing myself for the day when one day I would hold them in my arms.  I prayed for my one day children all of my life and I prayed that I would be a good mother to them.   I was not perfect, but I did my best.  Being a mother makes me go aww . . .



More than anything else in the world, I know this to be true.  Love does change everything.
Think about it . . .



Little pink paw pads . . .  soft and tender and sweet . . .



Having a sister I love to pieces.  Out of all the blessings God could have given me, having a sister is one of the best blessings ever.   We do not always see eye to eye on things.   Sometimes we annoy each other.  Always we love each other.   We share a history that we share with nobody else.   We "get" each other in a way nobody else will ever "get" us.  We can speak volumes to each other with only a look, or a touch of the hand.  I am so grateful for my sister.   She's the best.



Teddy bears.  I love teddy bears.   I was given my very first one when I was very small.  It came from my grandmother. I loved this bear to pieces . . . literally.   I had redone it's paws with fabric because I had worn it out.  I carried it with me all over the world, but on one move it disappeared and I never saw it again.  I often wonder just where he went and I like to think  that some place in the world he is bring joy to another heart like he brought to mine.



Little boys.   The smell of their sweaty little heads after a hard day's play in the hot summer sun.  The feel of their warm little arms snaking around your neck as they pull you close to say night night.  The giggles, the snakes, the laughter, the tears and everything in between.   I have a soft spot in my heart for little boys.  


 

Freckles on a face.   They make me smile.   I love them.  I never had them when I was a child.   I always wanted them.  I wanted dimples too.

A thought to carry with you today . . .
