An adorable picture of soon-to-be-married Dimas & Marni "borrowing" two cute Babies - Gabriella & Sylas
My mind has been on weddings/marriage recently as it's something I look forward to with our own children. No one is married yet, but it's inevitable. I am excited, yet a little apprehensive as I know it means our children separating from me and DH as parents in order to start their own families. Hey, I suppose it's good to look at this upcoming Season of Life in terms of growth and fruitfulness in the Biblical sense. Our children's marriages will hopefully mean many, many, many Grandkids (the more the merrier); so the quote below by Herbert Hoover is appropriate.
Wonder of Life
Wonder of Life
Children are the most wholesome part of the race, the sweetest, for they are freshest from the hand of God. Whimsical, ingenious, mischievous, they fill the world with joy and good humor. We adults live a life of apprehension as to what they will think of us; a life of defense against their terrifying energy; a life of hard work to live up to their great expectations. We put them to bed with a sense of relief--and greet them in the morning with delight and anticipation. We envy them the freshness of adventure and the discovery of life. In all these ways, children add to the wonder of being alive. In all these ways, they help to keep us young.
