Precious bundles handed to me in pink blankets, cute outfits, hair bows, tea parties, dolls and dress up. That’s what I think of.
Somewhere in there are tantrums, drama, fussing and whining, but even so the memories are sweet and I laugh to myself.
With 2 teenager daughters and a 3rd approaching 23, I feel the time moving so fast. My mom used to say, “Before you know it they’re gone.” Somehow I’ve managed to keep ours around. Still, it does whoosh by.
Moments are precious and secrets even more. How blessed I feel when one confides in me… like a friend. Oh, my heart!
“Lord, help me be true and safe with their words. Help me remember details of who said what and be remembered for wise encouraging guidance. How I pray they find their worth in only You!”
Daughters are treasures, pearls of great price… and what a cost! May I count their true value and pass it on. Bless them, keep them, fill them with the Joy of Your salvation.
“With joy, (my dears) you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:3
