Gratitude Post #14: My Daughter

Today I'm grateful for my beautiful daughter, Elizabeth. She means so much to me! No one else can put a smile on my face the way she can. She's my daily dose of vitamin JOY. I love the way she looks to me for comfort, entertainment, security, and knowledge. Tonight I enjoyed cradling her in my arms and kissing her sweet, tender forehead and cheeks as she settled herself on my lap. She kept looking into my face with her big, beautiful eyes, studying me, and content to have my full attention. My heart swells with love for her. Sometimes when I look at her, I feel this overwhelming sense of stewardship. She is one of Heavenly Father's beloved daughters, and He has entrusted me with her care. I am so grateful to be her earthly mother.
