TIME TO THINK

 

THINKING ABOUT TIME TODAY...

Abigail's birthday today.  Lydia graduating high school next week.  Stephen taking the MCAT on Friday in preparation for his plans after college.  Jonah finishing up with his catheter of 9 months and hopefully staying healthy going forward.  Ben's 5 year anniversary of being in our family coming up this summer.

HOW FAST IT GOES...

As of today, I have been a stay at home mom for 23 years!  How can this be?  Did my investment of that time make a difference in my children's lives?  How many more years will I stay home with Ben and Jonah?  How long will they need me 24/7?  What is my role in my older kids' lives now as they make their own decisions and plans  

HOW MY SENSE OF TIMING IS SO VERY DIFFERENT FROM GOD'S...

What about my hopes and dreams for all five of our children?  

What are their own individual hopes and dreams?

SO VERY MUCH TO THINK ABOUT...

And now on a less serious note, 

here is one of my all-time favorite photos of our Abigail Joy.

Looks like she was busy thinking about things herself!
