February is a big Birthday month in the Hynson Home! The twins will be 3 on Saturday and Dylan, my first-born, will be 13 in two weeks. I always get a little sapppy at birthday time. It just amazes me how time flies. I remember vividly--like it was only a few moments ago that I brought my first sweet bundle of joy home to begin a life as a mother. I have no idea where 13 years has gone. Children are certainly a way that God teaches us to hold on to the moments, because they are passing so quickly. That can be so hard to do in this world--appreciating the moments. I just don't naturally look at a day as a series of moments. There are things to be accomplished, goals to be met. And we live our lives looking ahead--here's where I want to be tomorr0w; this is what I want to do next week; by next year I plan to be here. I so often find myself living for what's beyond and in the meantime, the moments get lost, ignored. But when I do stop long enough to sit in the moments (and I am getting better at it every day), I have learned that He is there--welcoming me. For I have learned that God is with me everywhere I go, but in the moments...we are together. In the moments...we connect. In the moments...I see what he sees. In the moments...I love as he loves.
Praise God for the Moments and may you have a day full of moments. :)
