Getting Older

As I reflect back just a few days ago, I realize I only have one more year and I will reach the 50 year old mark. When you think about it, 50 sounds old, but it is true that; "you are only as old as you feel". I don't feel 50, I may look it, but age doesn't bother me. What bothers me, is that my oldest son will turn 25 on Sunday, Oct. 4th, and I can hardly bare that he is getting older. We feel like they will always be babies, but it just isn't true.

Aaron loves God with all of his heart, and he is so dedicated to God. Mistakes? Of course! But he strives to be his best. He is an awesome worship leader and I know that I am so very blessed to have him on my Worship Team. The sad thing is, one day I know someone will grab him away from me and take him to another place, another level in God, and fulfill the desires of his heart.

Josh, my youngest son, on the other hand, is just one year behind him. I know that one day they will find that "wonderful someone" and Mom will take second place. That is something that I am not ready to face, but know it is coming. My GOSH! Have you seen those two boys? I just hope that their new "wonderful" will let me be a part of their lives. I never had girls, so maybe they will let me spoil them rotten! LOL!

I hope as when they leave our home, I can look back over our lives and say; "we did our very best, Lord". The next best thing would be, that they get married and have me some GRANDBABIES.

Life is too short to not embrace every moment together with them, and capture every memory together.
