Time goes so quickly! Not a new thought, to be sure; however as each year passes I am reminded just what "quickly" means...
i was an 18 year old bride of a soldier (what 10 years has it been)??? Oh, I guess not...my 42 year old son tells me that it has been a little longer than that!
i was a 27 year old wife / mom when a promise that God gave me from Isaiah 43:5 was fulfilled with the birth of my daughter (who grew not under my heart, but rather in it). Let's see that was 15 years ago??? oops.. wrong again: pictures on the wall of my 34 year old daughter and her wonderful husband with my beautiful 3 grandsons remind me that it has been a little longer than that.
i was a only a 42 year old when again God gave me the desires of my heart, and our curly blonde haired girl was born...just, what, 5 years ago??? Oh, wrong again...she is now a 2nd year college student.
my body tells me that I don't have the same strength and stamina that I was able to give in play to my oldest grandson, to my youngest!
my handsome husband has a few dark hairs left, but the Bible tells me that his grey hair is a sign of wisdom... (or maybe his is just putting up with me for 22 years) :)
There are soooo many days, moments, people that are so special to me that have added to my years - I hope to share some of those as this "blog" evolves.
Most importantly...It was 37 years ago on March 9th that my life truly changed and made an appreciation for my life (every moment) and the joyful anticipation of what is left of my days, and then eternity, happened: I was born again! Jesus Christ became the Lord of my life! He has been with me through it all; never leaving my side...He is my Comforter, my Peace, my Joy, my 1st Love, my Saviour! I hope that you will take the time to consider His sacrifice on the cross for you!! Don't let "another year" pass without getting to know Him...you will NOT be disappointed.
