A preview to empty nest...?

My summer was so focused on my children. We had huge fun and spent so many fun and FUNNY moments together. They are big enough to really appreciate the fun things we do together, but not SO big that hanging out with mom is embarrassing.
I didn't realize until this week how much I enjoyed having them with me every stinkin' day. I miss them. My husband laughs at me and says to enjoy the quiet time.
I've whipped my house back into shape and organized drawers and cleaned out closets. I'm waiting impatiently for a job to come. In the meantime, I'll spend some time rediscovering what I like to do and praying that I find some answers to some tough questions that came up over the summer.
Thanks for indulging my whine fest. Peace~

Fatherly Love

I remember the day I realized that I had a Father who loved me so much. A relief swept over me and I felt whole. I knew He would never leave me and would always be there to lead me in the right direction. Thinking about it now brings me such joy and peace. An earthly father could have never given me all the love our Heavenly Father gives each day. I thank our Father for catching me when I fall, holding me while I weep and rejoicing with me when I triumph over this world. Peace~

Summer Fun~

Alas, the summer must come to an end. I've enjoyed the time with the small ones. I will miss them. I appreciate all the minutes I spend with them because I know they'll be gone quickly. It won't be too long until the little man will prefer "hanging" with his buddies. My youngest princess will no longer want to snuggle with me while we watch bad reality television. *Sigh* I guess it's time for me to grow up. SOB~
