There are seasons of life. And ...This is beautiful! There are seasons of life. And you have the wonderful gift of enjoying each one to its fullest. Smart, smart girl, Amanda.<br>I have the heritage of a grandfather who died young (soon after I was born). His wife, my grandmother, was always too busy with laundry, cooking, etc. to stop and go fishing or just sit and talk. She regretted that busy-ness when he died so young. Point is, it was ingrained in me to appreciate each and every opportunity and not to wish life away by despising the blessing right in front of you.<br>You seem to understand this lesson!<br>I remember one day when my infant Sprite was screaming and I couldn't calm her. I put her safely in her crib and sat on the porch and cried. But I gave a prayer of thanksgiving for even that moment. I told Dad that I wanted to cherish each and every moment, even that one. It's one of those pivotal parenting moments for me. I cringe when I hear people talk about "when the kids are grown we can..." What about NOW? Enjoy each and every moment while you have it.<br>Sorry. I'm seriously rambling. I need to blog this! :-)<br>Jimmiehttp://www.jimmiescollage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-75853962987030943512009-06-26T01:13:29.000+08:002009-06-26T01:13:29.000+08:00I totally understand.
