Seasons

I've been thinking lately about seasons of life and how important it is to appreciate and experience fully each season as it comes. I spend too much time wishing for things that will come in time (e.g., no diapers, or talking in full sentences). Often, when those things come, I'm already wishing for the next thing. What a terrible way to live life!

Things to appreciate now: the hectic craziness of running around after a two year old while also holding a three month old... and still having the energy to do it (most days). (Truly makes me wonder how mothers of three, four, or more do it!) The sweet innocence of my baby girl. The absolute trust and devotion of my children. Full days to devote to play. Being young with my husband.

I know I will look back one day and think fondly of these years. I also want to look back and know that I made the best of them, not wasting the time and opportunities God gave.
