My son turned THIRTEEN this week!
We all know this happens – kids grow with time, but still I wonder, how has so much time flown by already? He is a kind heart, and such a delight, this manChild of mine…ever ready to help and so funny!
He said I would now have to “look up to him”! He is taller than me and most likely will very quickly be much taller than me!
He and his sister are among Heaven’s best gifts to me! I AM so fortunate and thankful to be gifted with them. In happy, sad, delightful or difficult moments, we know we have each other.
I shared the Scripture that was on my heart for him, this birthday…words I learned as a young child. These words are found in the Fourth verse of the Fourth Chapter of the Book of 1 John in the Holy Bible. It states, You can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them (evil forces), for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.
It’s a reminder that no matter what comes against us, we will overcome. We will be alright. We have the Divine on our side and can defeat darkness.
The kids and I are enjoying and wrestling through this journey…it’s both-and…still…always. Here for it all.
Hope you’re fully embracing all the moments in and with your village. Light and Love to you!
Common Day Hero: You are a Light of Heaven to all whom you meet. I’m grateful to have been seated near you, so we could begin a friendship. EmilyP, I dedicate this post to you.
