Time goes by, things change, days come and go. They turn into weeks, months and years. Looking back it's hard to believe so much time has passed since my first birthday that June 7th, when my Mom and Dad and sister welcomed me into the world!
When I was younger, I felt time would never pass fast enough and I would never grow up! Now I want time to slow down, so I can enjoy every moment with friends, family, and experience the beauty of God's Creation...all the special times that become memories all too soon.
God has blessed me with a beautiful life. I have citizenship in a country where I am free to worship God, travel, pursue whatever dreams adventures and challenges my heart desires. I can't believe I have been so blessed.
I am so thankful for parents who modeled God's love to me, for a husband (who I met in college) who has stuck with me through thick and thin, for all the special people in my life, and for the country I love.
Tomorrow is Father's Day and I will be calling my Dad to tell him I'm so glad he's my Dad.
Every moment I have on this earth is a special gift from God's hand, and I am so thankful. May God help me to make the most of what He has given me, and in turn to bless others.
