I guess that a good blogger doesn't forget to blog. I have been in a state of not wanting to be alone with my thoughts lately. I have been remembering things from the course of this last year recently along with the memories of my mother's passing nearly one year ago now.
I have sometimes recalled that things that have happened for the very purpose of changing both my mind and my attitude. Thinking upon lots of things sometimes is not very good for ones psyche. Other times, it can be great. Most of the time for me has been spent thinking of good times, events that are noteworthy to me and the future ahead.
I am looking this year at the graduation of my second child who will be attending school North of here and also still the attendance of my oldest, who will be a junior this coming fall in the South-west.
The youngest, who is still the only young teen in the house, still has another 4 years to go before we get him all set off to doing what ever it is that will determine his future.
Time sure has a way of changing really fast. It makes me sad and lonely to have more freedom now than I have had in quite some time - years, really. I am excited to see what the future holds for all the kids and know that things have to change for the sake of each and every one of them. It is scary also. Because, what if.....Oh, the 'What ifs?'.
Well, we can not determine what lies ahead for any of us, but we can know that with God's love, grace, mercy, direction and kindness, He knows exactly what all of that looks like. We sometimes forget to just help him and go along with His plan. Let us not forget to be ever so thankful each and every day, and every moment of every day that we are His creation. Created for His purpose and His pleasures. That we are to not forget where we come from and never to forget where we are going to.
Peace and Love.
