The answer? Time! Enjoy your children, grandchildren, and loved ones while you can. They are precious gifts from God Himself. May this day find you with a heart of reconciliation, love, and restoration for those around you.
Love is the greatest commandment in the Bible:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:36-38.
Blessings of love,

Ah yes, children and animals… both innocent… both givers of unconditional love… both God’s gifts to us. Let’s guard them with all our love and care in return.

Yes, these pictures of when he was a baby, and just a little guy, bring joy, and are a great reminder that time is fleeting. BTW, I have a friend who is close in age to you, and I have told her about your blog. Her name is Lisa, and she is looking for encouraging words and Scripture applications to read. Hopefully you’ll see her soon. Blessings of great joy!! ♥
