My little man finished kindergarten this week,...wow.  Something that was very much anticipated and looked forward to knowing it brought summer fun with it, and yet there was still a tinge of sadness for mom.  As the girls and I walked through the old trees shading the playground area we watched Asher playing from a distance and my heart was sad.  A chapter in his young life had passed, completed with flying colors, and would never be revisited...those sweet first school-age friendships and most important snack times were over.  The fall will come quickly, this time with Asher and Evelyn both going to school, this time in public, this time for a full day....and what happened to this year I had home with Evelyn, those specials days with just her and Anabel to run errands and play; where have those days so quickly gone?  Does every mother feel this time crunch?  Waking each day, praying and hoping to push and encourage your child toward greatness, fulfilling the purpose God has in mind for them, and yet with each passing season knowing its one step closer to them opening their wings to fly..... I guess that brings me to my prayer for this summer....remember to savor the moments, embrace the small ones and enjoy their age, right where they are, helping them to enjoy them also and thank Jesus.  Tomorrow I will blink my eyes and they will be different and have changed in some way....and yet the same chores will remain :)  So here's to savoring friendships, stories, snack time, and what really matters in life; because it continues to go on whether we grasp what's most important or not.  Lord, give me Your eyes to see.....and thank you for the beautiful blessings and visions I have of You in my family, they are my gifts from above!  As Anabel would say..."That's my Iyor, my Evie and me Aahbel." :)
