dear all here is a poem given to me just before i had my 7th child i thought i would share it with list so if anybody knows any mothers with a large family they could give it to them. ****************************************************************** Count Your Blessings If the good Lord sends down a wee lassie to you, And then should happen to send ye another. Ye'll know He's approvin' o' ye as a Mother. Then if He chooses to offer ye three, 'Tis a diligent Mother ye happen to be, But if by some chance He should trust ye with four, Faith I'd not be surprised if He'd trust ye with more, But devil a few are the women alive That He's ever considered o' trustin' with five, He looks the world over and carefully picks, Just one in a thousand He'd ever give six, And be sure if He'd ever should bless ye with seven, Ye're a saint and ye're fit for the glories of Heaven. *********************************************************************** Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers love connie
