We need to run to God for cofmrot, not food. Even though I have not read the book (yet) I have been trying to put that into practice. God is our true and ultimate cofmrot...and he is always there ready to help! I just wish there wasn't a candy dish on the front desk at work...Blessings, Joan I’ve heard a lot about the book you mentioned…and it makes total sense! We need to run to God for cofmrot, not food.

And let me tell you... I am an absolute mess right now with mascara and snot flying everywhere!! Lol! I struggled with infertility for almost 8 years before having a child. Now my one and only beautiful little girl Symphony will be starting Kinder in August! I really can't believe she's about to be 5 years old. The time has gone WAY too quickly just as many women told me it would. I tried to steward those words of wisdom offered by other moms and grandmothers over the years and cherished moments ON PURPOSE ... almost daily. All of these years I have been taking lots of snapshots both with my camera and in my mind ... thinking in my heart ....I never ... ever want to forget this! I didn't realize until today though that as this August is quickly approaching I have allowed myself to become busy and preoccupied with other things instead of spending as much quality time with my daughter. .I guess in a way I've been doing this to shield my heart from the sadness and hurting I feel. I'm not completely sure.... I just know I need to make a. change!! Thank you for helping me to reset my priorities. I may shed MANY, MANY tears between now and August.... (and that's ok) but I will also enjoy those little priceless moments to he fullest and have no regrets when I look back years from now!! Blessings to you! Praying for your joyfilled visit with those you love! Brandy Wow Karen!,

I'm crying. Been a typical morning with my 3 young boys. Reading this was a reminder of the struggle. "The days are long, but the years are short," I've been told. I can see it already...I wish it weren't so hard! Dear Lord please help me to treasure these times, even with the runny noses, constant messes, and my desperate need for a decent shower!

It is often 100 or more degrees here in the summer, and it is easy to get dehydrated. I offer drinks to anyone who enters my home, whether they are a friend or someone who is being paid to be there, like a repair person or exterminator. One time, I had a group in my home that was conducting a study through Texas Tech University. They were going to be there for at least an hour, so I had planned to offer them something to eat or drink even before they arrived. They were so appreciative and told me that I was the only person who had offered them anything out of all the people they did the study with. That meant a lot to them and showed them that I cared about them as people. I always ask guests if they would like a drink right away.

I know in that moment, that mom doesn't believe me and she's heard it from the likes of me so many times before. But while it is true, time passes and before you know it, your child is moving out, moving on, I have also realized recently, there's an incredibly rich amount of living that goes on between then and now. Bless you Karen with your visits and your videos!!
