A good friend of mine told me that she quit looking at the things that happened as events or time passing by too quickly. She said that everything we have going on puts us in a different season of life. What you may have loved to do years ago may not necessarily be the same thing you enjoy doing later on. I've entered another season of my life with our youngest child, Jenna, being a senior this year at Humphreys Academy. She's enjoying her senior year but also realizes that she too is entering another season in life. It's hard to watch her going thru the changes but I also know that the changes are going to happen. I guess that's the hardest part of being a Mama is having been in a stage of life and knowing that you do survive it but wanting to take the pain away from them. I just wonder if God looks at us and already knows the pain that we may endure but He also knows that the pain must happen in order for us to grow as Christians.
God bless my family and we grow and change together. I thank Him for all my family and friends and praise Him for the many storms that He's weathered with me.
Praying for those that have lost loved ones recently but also know that although we mourn their passing on, the reunion in heaven is one awesome time.
I also have had my Aunt Ann on my mind alot lately. She was a tremendously loving woman who told it straight but also loved with all her heart. She ultimately passed away from cancer that had metastitized throughout her body. There's a double pink Knockout rose planted in her memory in front of my window. I love you, Aunt Ann. I only pray that I love as you did and live my life in such a way that will make everyone proud of the woman I am.
