Some seasons of life feel like they drag on. Remember how long summer vacation was when you were a kid? It’s still the same length of time between school ending and starting again but as an adult it flies by now.
Perhaps you’re looking forward to a big event like your wedding. The waiting can seem endless.
As a Mom living in the diaper stage, potty training can’t come soon enough! Or some of you are anxiously awaiting your kids start of school so you can have time to yourself again.
Just know that it all flies by and then…memories.
SO much Life happens in relatively short periods of time that you can forget to slow down and reflect. Appreciate. Rejoice.
I am so thankful for photographs that capture moments and stimulate memories. I slowed down this morning to look back at the happenings in the lives of our family in this past year.
College graduation.
2 1/2 months later, a wedding.
Senior Portrait for the final year of high school.
Blink!
The Senior year has come to an end and his Tennis coach is thanking him for a great 3 years as his team manager.
Where did that time go?
Then that celebration day came.too.quickly.
And then off on the adventure of this 18 year life time…Europe for 3 1/2 weeks.
Envy is a sin. I need forgiveness.
What I need daily is what you need. Time to reflect. To take stock. To say Thank You.
I come here twice a week for just those things. Solitude. Listening. Reflection.
The result for me is Peace.
I am grateful for the life that happened this past year. Joy and sadness blended together. Real life. Fast and fleeting.
I am grateful for photos that remind me. Friends that walked with me. Family that supports me.
And most of all my Lord Who loves me perfectly.
