I Am

I am:

Child – conduct and beliefs taught from birth are ingrained
Wife – caring hubby holds me accountable yet contented
Mother – couple of sons and a daughter, I'm proud to present
Sister – contacts weekly, so glad FaceTime was invented
Nana – caretaker of three kiddoes who keep me entertained

Christian - Jesus Christ my Savior, Redeemer and Guide
Learner – juggling Sudoku, Rubik's Cube and Tunisian crochet
Friend – joint-heirs with believers in whom I can confide
Neighbor – juveniles, adults and pets, we connect day by day

Teacher – lingering occupation from which I cannot retire
Poet – love of language to instruct, imagine and inspire
Musician –long-time interest both on keyboard and in choir

Cook – my pet-peeve job, if I am the chef, be on guard 
Housekeeper – my pride and joy is our new home and yard

Optimist – all things are possible through faith in God

Wonderful Reason! We need more people devoted to teaching. Two of my children are teachers, the other two a nurse and therapeutic massage therapist. I couldn’t be more pleased with their chosen vocations. I too am an optimist. The spirit of your faith shines bright in this beautiful bio Reason. It is so nice to get to know you better. Congratulations on your second placement! Blessings xxoo

thank you, Sam, I enjoyed your example which inspired me to do something similar for Andrea's contest. I like the "give" which makes your bio seem like a prayer. And your last line remark about I am and I AM should register with most believers. Excellent.
