Joyful Transformation

I think it is a gift from God to be able to enjoy each phase of our lives. I am enjoying this one. Those babies are so sweet. I love to hold them and kiss their little heads. They know when someone is holding them that loves them and they respond with sweet smiles or sometimes they just relax and …..fill up their diaper! Oh well, that is all part of being a baby. I guess the best part of this phase is that when I am totally exhausted I can go home take off my clothes and crawl into my own bed. I will then sleep uninterrupted until an alarm clock goes off. Yeah, that is the best part!

At the same time each joy brings sacrifice. Terri is off to the beach…..I don’t know when I will go to the beach again. David and I had planned a trip for our wedding anniversary next month….we will just have to see. I wanted to help with the move to the new church building this week, but I can only stretch myself so thin. The weather has been fabulous here since Saturday, but I barely notice if it is day or night. I know these moments are precious and few and I am trying to devote my whole self to enjoying them while they last.

My blog reading is very sporadic. I am trying to keep up with my posting, selfishly, to help me remember all of this when it is said and done. Thanks again for all of your prayers and just for checking up on me. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow I will have some true words of wisdom.
