Age 4...or is that 14?

This is how I found my sweet Avarie Rae the other day. Chatting on the phone with her BFF. I can't help but see a vision of what it will be like in 10 years. The time goes by so quickly. I am so thankful to have the opportunity and blessing to stay home with these children that God has blessed us with for now, and I am thankful that God has given me a window into the future, knowing that it won't always be like this. That I must cherish all that it is in the moment. Because the moment will change...and it will no longer be a moment, but a memory.
Thank you Lord for this precious gift of motherhood. In the times when it is frustrating, or tempting to take the easy way out, I thank YOU for giving me the ability to cherish these moments and the opportunity to raise these little ones in the way you see fit for our family.

Oh my word! It's like me 10 years ago (okay, fine, maybe more like 20...whatever) So cute!
