Well it's been over a month since I've written and a lot has changed! Two weeks ago our oldest daughter got married, we gained an amazing son-in-law, our other daughter moved back to college and our son started his junior year in high school. The only thing that I know to write about currently is CHANGE :)
Every parent goes through it and every stage and season are significant! Whether your child is starting preschool, high school or moving off to college it brings about new feelings and emotions. I believe that in each stage God is preparing us for the next one. I've learned many things throughout the process of these changes and milestones.
First, take everything in and don't miss a beat. Every conversation and every event be fully present in that moment. Next, talk about the event or special occasion after it's over so you can reflect on it as a family. Then, after the realization that your life is slowly changing and your children are getting older...embrace the stage and be excited for the new things to come! God has amazing plans for you and your family so just remember...
"For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Peace and blessings,
Lesa
