No one ever
told me…
- © Gray hairs grow in standing straight up!
- © I would love sledding just as much as an adult as I did when I was a kid! Whee!
- © I would be swept off my feet by the preschoolers I taught for 12+ years at church. (I thought I was just supposed to be filling a spot on the schedule; boy was that wrong.)
- © I would walk out of the hospital with my first baby STILL looking pregnant.
- © I would not be able to jump rope without a diaper on after giving birth to a total of 6 children.
- © I would learn first-hand that attachment disorders are very common with adopted children.
- © I would not mind unintentionally accessorizing with dog hair on all of my clothes because it’s worth having my beloved pup around.
- © I would “buy in” to a football program so much so that I even watch “film” sometimes just to educate myself about the game (and spend more time with my hubby!).
- © I would cherish my children more and more with every new day I am their mama. They are a gift beyond measure.
- © I would know a deeper love than I can ever explain with my husband, not just because of good times but even more so through all of the tough bumps in the road of life together as a union of “one”.
- © I would live out an adventure every single day just by surrendering my life to God and all of His crazy ways of changing the world around me. And oh, I am so glad I did!
But why would they?
They would have ruined the surprise… and so many more to come!
Prayer: Lord, thank you so much for the joy of every
unique possibility that comes with the dawning of a new day. I am so grateful
for the amazing people I get to share life with. I take great comfort and peace
from the fact that no matter how difficult life gets at times, YOU are always
with me. I can’t wait to see all that you still have in store for our journey
together; may it bring glory to Your name!
