We so often forget what it was like to be a child...to see the world through the eyes of a child. I was driving home the other day and typically (depending on what's going on) I like to switch up my drive home...they say that doing this will help later in life with Alzheimer’s...keeps your mind active. But anyways, that's not what we're talking about today...I was driving home and I went a totally different way that I hadn't driven in years actually. It took me down a road that I remember as a child driving and from the back seat of my parents car I would think to myself, as a child how big the houses on this road where. I remember being in awe of what I'd see....20 plus years later, not so much. They actually look smaller then what I remember....interesting how things change when you get older. (Such a loaded statement) :)
But this is the thing, if we where meant to always look at life that way, we would of stayed children, thinking in childish ways...but we're adults with major adult responsibilities and lately I haven't had much fun at it. BUT here's the other great thing about being an adult...ok I sat here for a good 15 minutes thinking about it....I like being an adult because I get to watch my daughter live, love and enjoy life. A part of me, a part of my heart...I get to be her mom and how awesome is that!
On my desk at work sits many pictures of my life, everything from my freshman year of college to my beautiful little girl. I have her school picture and I love looking at her little smile and realize that the sky is the limit for her; she's at the point that the world is her stage and I pray that she will embrace every moment with grace, elegance and dignity.
Children are a blessing and I am so thankful that GOD has given our family 5 beautiful little girls to raise, love and walk this journey of life together!
