The other day I was telling a young mother to enjoy this stage of her life, with her little ones, as no stage of our life last for long.
The thought fleeted across my mind, ... "The stage of life I'm in will not last long, either. Am I enjoying it as much as I should be?! Am I seizing the moment?!" :)
I'd like to think that I am! This is the stage of my life when I have both the ability and the opportunity to garden and do yard work, which is one of my passions! It's the stage when I feel the need to sort through everything we have and really put our lives in order! It's the stage when I feel a deep desire to lose my excess weight and become more fit!
I feel the need to tend to these things so strongly, at this time in my life, that I must remind myself that it's still important to make time for serving others! :)
Irregardless of what stage of life we are in, there are blessings we enjoy, and people, and things, that need our attention, our determination, our passion, and our commitment!
Here's hoping we're all seizing the moment and enjoying the stage of life we are in! :)

ReplyDeleteI both rejoice and empathize with you over your child's wedding tomorrow! It's a happy, wonderful event, but wears one out! :) It's so nice when it's all over and you can relax and smile in contentment! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's one of those things that comes with the stage of life we are in! :)
