What a beautiful blessing to watch sorrow unfold a legacy of love. As our small community has been dealing with many tragedies, death, and sadness recently, one particular death has especially impacted my ten year old daughter.

I enjoy writing and writing for God is my passion. God has instilled in me a dream of one day writing a book. I had planned on working more intently on writing for my book this summer. But I haven’t. I had intentions of writing a blog post at least once or possibly twice a month this year. But I haven’t. In fact this is my first post since January.

I went grocery shopping solo on a Friday night which is rare, normally I have two 13-year-olds with me. I saw a few college students home for the weekend, grocery shopping with their moms. These moms were glowing with a joyful heart. Here I am in my rushed schedule, excited to go grocery shopping solo, while these college moms are cherishing this time with their children. It made me fully aware that in 4 ½ short years that will be me.
