"How, child, do I know where you're headed?
Because I'm there, and I can see you coming."
-Robert Brault
It's amazing how time flies.
...one minute...
We need our hands held, lots of hugs and tender care.
...then next minute...
We're off and flying. Look! No hands!...before we know it...
We need our hands held, lots of hugs and tender care.
{because we realize that life feels better this way}
What a treasure each and every moment is!
They are each a gift from God.
Let's count our blessings!

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you have any advertising options available? I'm looking to highlight some real estate and renovating information. Let me know if this is a possibility and I would be happy to share details.
Thank you,
Christina
Such a great theme...kind of like agency...the greatest gift of all. Loved all your pictures! ;D

ReplyDeleteOh so true Maria. All we can do is the very best we can and then let go. And that time goes so quickly. I try to enjoy every moment that I have Kate at home with me as I know that soon enough she will fly away!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
So true Maria...that is your beautiful life !!! God is great !!! .....love Ria....xxx....
ReplyDeleteOh I can tell we are in the same season of life...the tears just swell up in my eyes as I go through your post...oh it passes so fast and so precious. I told my baby (age 5) I was never letting him get older...of course he protested...and so did his five siblings before him...now four are out of the nest.
ReplyDeletePrecious heartfelt and so there post!
We have been at both ends of the spectrum, Maria...it is simply the circle of life....
ReplyDeleteSo true what you said about what a treasure that each and every moment is. Counting all my blessings today and you are always on the list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of life! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMay God richly bless you! Of course He's already given us the best blessing of all, His Son!
I'm sure you know how much I can relate to this post. We are certainly surrounded by the circle of life in our house right now. Little grandsons, ailing parents and still recovering from loss... right along with twenty-somethings having the times of their lives. We really do need to savor every moment and every stage.
ReplyDeleteThis makes my heart hurt...but, in a good way. Time does just FLY! I want to try to enjoy every moment or at least learn from each one.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOh Maria, what a beautiful post. Your words had me reaching for tissue. So touching. Reminded me of "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. I remember reading this book to my babies, with tissues by my side.
