A Gift from God

Now is the time when things settle down, that one has a chance to look around. To take a deep breath, smile and say today really wasn't such a bad day. That nobody got hurt, nobody got sick, and Mom's coffee table got just one new nick. Which is truely amazing considering the fact, God gave you two babies, you can't send one back. Yes, you have twins, that you can't ignore, as you scrape the dried oatmeal off the floor. The pleasures are many, the troubles are few, remember you're a Mom doubly blessed with two. No matter how bad things really seem, one can take sour milk and turn it to cream. For the day will come when they're no longer small, and you'll say to yourself it wasn't any trouble at all. So remember when you have trouble with your little pair, that they were a gift from God, so precious and rare. Some people will loose, but you'll share the wins, because you were made the Mother of Twins.

BLESSINGS

Pink or blue - multiply by two What excitement that news drew Two boys? or girls? or one of each Precious bundles - skin like peach Downy hair and dimpled cheeks Trusting eyes take a peek A whole new world to explore Love and laughter - a whole lot more Tiny fingers - tiny toes Adorable babies - ribbons and bows Bunny rugs and lullabies Lots of lows and lots of highs So if one day you get the news That you will need two pairs of shoes Be glad at heart you've paid the price You're special in that you've been blessed twice
