Everyday is a gloriously organic thing- a blessing from God. We never know as we take our leave from friends and loved ones if it will be our last time. Yesterday marked one month since my grandfather, lovingly called "Papa" by most, was called home. My family looks back with fond memories and a lot of laughter, but also tears of sadness as we wish he were here... Yesterday also marked 9 months since we welcomed our Chloe into the family, transforming the Williamses in a moment into a family of 4. Quite a contrast- loss and gain, death and birth, ending and beginning. I hope that my children will grow to know their Papa through the things he taught me; most of all, that they grow to love God. Papa taught me a lot of things, but that is one of the biggies- Love God Always, NO MATTER WHAT. If I teach my babies nothing else but a sincere love and trust for Him, I will be satisified because in that relationship lies all else.
Good thoughts, Sarah. And remember...just because no one comments, doesn't mean they're not reading your blog. So keep it up..you never know who's "watching".
ReplyDeleteGreat start with blogging. I'll be hanging around, hopefully with some encouraging words from time to time...
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head, when it's all boiled down to the essence of life, loving God is it. Nothing else matters. Or, perhaps I should have said that all other meaningful things are rooted in those words.
