Weird But Wonderful!

We were able to start decorating for Christmas the last few days.  What a fun activity!  The "little people" have been so excited. 

After I finished a hanging the stockings on the mantle, I took a step back to look at my work.  I wanted to make sure they were spaced properly. 

As I did so, I had one of my "moments".  It was one of those moments that it hits me that I have seven children.  Seven huge blessings that I am responsible to love as the Lord loves me.  It is my job to teach them all ways of the Lord.  Bam!  The thought hit me right in the heart!





I have these moments often.  There are times that I think, "Lord, it is so weird that I have a newborn and one who will be 18 years old in just 2 1/2 months. 
Father, I will be changing diapers and looking into college at the same time.  Please give me the wisdom to balance it all."


I find it strange that when Myla is in Kindergarten my oldest will be out of college.  Who knows he could even be married.

 My life is a crazy, but I love it.  I wouldn't trade it for the world.  It is a weird, but wonderful life.
