This topic was not what I had planned on blogging about today. Yet, I had such a strong burden to share it after going to the park today with my granddaughters. So it's not everyday that I get a chance to have all my granddaughters together. This week I have the opportunity to have them all. So I decided to take them to the park and have a picnic. As we were enjoying swinging a mother and I assume it was her daughter shows up. The little girl quickly joined my granddaughters and were instantly friends. As I stepped away allowing them to play together for about 30 minutes. When the mother of the little girl said it was time to go; and, kids being kids she throw a fit. The mother yelled "I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU GROW UP!" I wanted to say something, but, didn't. Missed opportunity!! Years ago my pastors wife told me when I was struggling with being a mother with three little ones. That this is just a SEASON in my life and soon it will pass. Which I have held those words close to my heart to this day. I wish I could have told that mother today those same words that once was said to me. I think we all can relate to a time in our lives when we all needed a break from a situation, from kids, from our husbands or even just life. As I get older I'm thankful for the seasons with my children. Not sure when it happen but, I blinked and they grew up. The meaning of this blog is when your in the midst of your situation and you feel like your going to loose it. Just remember it's just a SEASON and this will pass. I hope this has helped someone!
