Good morning, friends. It has been a while since we've chatted. I am enjoying sunny California for a couple of weeks with my daughter, son-in-law and three of my most amazing grandchildren (high school, middle school and elementary age). 

My son-in-law is a busy pastor and my daughter had surgery this week, so one of my jobs has been the family chauffeur. Part of that responsibility included the "pick up" of my elementary-aged granddaughter. I have to admit, it was a bit stressful. Make sure you go into the proper entrance...then leave through the appropriate exit...make sure you pull up in the far left lane, 'cause she doesn't like to walk between cars... 

Of course, this has brought back memories of long ago days when I was doing this for my own three children. It seems like yesterday. Which brings me to the ever so popular topic of "seasons" in our lives. 

May I just remind you this morning to enjoy yours...whatever it is. Are you still single? Enjoy your freedom!! Are you a newlywed? Welcome to the greatest adjustment you will probably ever make in your life!! Have you welcomed your first little one into your home recently? Trust me, some day you will sleep again!
Are your children entering the pre-teen/teen years? Let the games begin! Maybe you are an empty nester. You still have a calling and a purpose, and you are, once again, in a place to find your own identity, instead of, "I'm _____'s mom. 

Whatever the season is, embrace it, and walk closely with the Lord through it. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1 

Have a great day. I think I'm going to bake some chocolate chip cookies... continue my "nursing career" caring for my daughter...then attempt the "pick up" again...and maybe a stop at Starbucks on the way home!

Blessings,
Kathy
