change {is good}

our youngest son, matthias, turned 7 yesterday. 7?!

i can hardly believe my little one is 7. his legs are so long. he has playdates at friends homes {without me}. he reads almost anything. he wants to be a ninja when he grows up.

but he still comes into our room every morning for snuggles. and he is loves his blankie. and he hugs me all the time.

i love watching my boys grow. and if i am honest with myself, i think i love these days more than when they were smaller. i love having conversations with them. i love seeing how their minds work and what they are passionate about. i love being able to go on outings without a huge diaper bag.

but i miss their tiny feet and baby smell. and when i look at photos from the early years, my heart melts for those tiny people who needed so much love and care.

change is so good. change can be so hard. we can’t weather the change in our lives without hope.

Psalm 18: 1-2 says, “I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

what change are you going through right now?
