My first "motherly words to live by" post will have to be, of course, one all about my children. Tim and I have been blessed with three wonderful gifts from God, each very unique and different in personality from the others!
Sarah loves reading, especially historical fiction and mysteries. This year she was in choir at school, and she has been in band for three years, playing the clarinet (because Mom and Dad did). We have moved a lot, so she doesn't mind traveling, meeting new people, and making new friends. She's a big helper.
Luke is in first grade. Very easy-going, friendly, and quiet, Luke loves all things boyish--cars, trains, Star Wars, Transformers, and videogames. He is learning to read, enjoys drawing, and likes figuring out how things work.
At age 4, Lillian's enthusiasm for life keeps us all on our toes! She treasures her Barbies, Polly Pockets, coloring, puzzles, and animals.
How thankful we are to have this time to watch them grow up and help them learn how to live and love. My hope is that they can appreciate each other throughout their lives, always treasuring each other's company and companionship. May it be so, Lord, may it be so!
To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.
