It’s been several months since I’ve written anything. I’ve been reflecting this week…..doesn’t seem that long ago I was a teenager…now my firstborn granddaughter is a teenager. All those years the Lord has been by my side encouraging me, upholding me, and giving me instruction. As women, we nurture, discipline, and love our children. We continue with our grandchildren. Every summer I get each grandchild and do special things with them. I want them to know I love them so much, God loves them so much, and they are divinely created by the Creator!
I always come back to nature since I love it so much! As I’ve commented many times, we have turkeys that come out in the yard. In the spring, the gobbler was out in the yard spread out trying to impress any lady. Now it is summer and we have four hens and two little ones. One Saturday it was pouring rain and the baby was downy. He would run and stand underneath his mama and stay drier. Everytime, he’d go out for a minute and peck at something and run back under mama. It brought to mind all the Scriptures of the Lord hiding us under His wings. It also brought to mind how easy it is as mothers and grandmothers to protect those we love! I’m enjoying watching the little turkey get bigger and think he’s bigger! Come fall, he’ll be one of the crowd.
Life is shorter than you think….let the laundry go and hug that baby! Play with your children. If you died tommorrow, what would matter? It wouldn’t be the dishes, laundry, or dustless house. I know, we do have to do these things but don’t let them steal the joy of every day life! It is precious. God has only given us this ONE day….we all make mothering mistakes but we can also create memories they will never forget! Live large, dance, celebrate, laugh!!!!
