Happy Birthday, Little One

A year ago you were born.

A year ago we held you, kissed you, and told you good by.

A year ago we laid your tiny, pink wrapped body in that little wooden box.

We know the pain of saying good by forever on earth.

Someday we will know the joy of saying hello in heaven.

We love you!!!

Good-bye

To everything there is a season and the season for my blogging has come to an end. It's a stirring in my heart that i have sensed for a while and last night Marlin confirmed it. My children are growing rapidly and i have only a few short years left to walk with them and part of that walking is teaching them how to serve. And to do that i need to take the limited time that i have and use it very purposefully. I want my children to have a heart of service, to be quick to lend a helping hand.....a plate of cookies......a hug to someone in need. And i can't do that very well if i am sitting on the computer, now can i. :) I want that serving to come naturally, (blogging is so much easier for me!) but many times it means taking time out of my day to do something for someone else.

I believe blogs can be a blessing and an encouragement, but my children need me more now than anyone else in my life. I will miss my readers and i wish both blessings and trials in your life. :) And no matter what, remember that God is good and will lead each one of you into truth if you are brave enough to follow.

Love, Darla
