Today we have learned to appreciate the little things in life. Like bugs, butterflies, air to breath, ants, bubbles, and snowflakes that glisten while falling looking like glitter. It's the little things in life that can turn a day from good to bad. A smile from a child, a note in the mail, a prayer in your heart, or breakfast in bed. Our goal this month and next month are to make little differences in the world for others. From volunteering to help different charity groups, to dropping homemade things off for those who simply just need some love, to brightening someones day out of surprise, and just being nice. We hope that this will spread through our families and friends, so that we can all help make this world a better place. One of Abby's favorite things is butterflies now. She loves how simple and beautiful they are. Her favorite song right now is Butterfly Kisses, by Bob Carlisle. So we have included the lyrics for you. She says it reminds her of peace, and angel kisses sent down from heaven from her grandpa's. Ah, the peace and love you can only understand from the innocence of a child. I am so proud of her for wanting to help others, and for understanding we are all individuals.



Butterfly Kisses lyrics
By, Bob Carlisle

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven
And she's daddy's little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony daddy it's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny daddy but I sure tried

Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every mornin'
And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 today
She's lookin' like her mama a little more every day
One part woman the other part girl
To perfume and make up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you daddy
But if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the check this time

Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin'
And butterfly kisses at night

All the precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I'm thinkin'
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm loosin' my baby girl
And she leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the isle daddy
It's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy's don't cry

Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin'
And butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses
