Life is fleeting and I look back on our daughter’s childhood with nostalgia, hardly able to believe how quickly it came and went. At least I have the memories. In the winter we went snowmobiling high in the Colorado Rockies or ice-skating in the park. In the summer we hiked and picnicked in the mountains. In the fall we cut firewood, buoyed by the prospect of long winter evenings in front of a roaring fire. Those special times didn’t just happen though. We planned them and made family time a priority.
“Children are a heritage from the Lord,
— Psalms 127:3-4
offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.”
Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of children. May we always realize what a treasure they are and make them a high priority. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
