Luke 2:51 “Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”
These simple words written
a few different times throughout Scripture about Mary mean so much to me these
days. Time is passing so fast and yet the days are full and busy and
exhausting and often mundane. But at the end of each day, I treasure them.
I treasure these days with Gram and Owen and I try each night to remember the
day, to talk about it with Dustin and to treasure these moments with my two
little boys.
Owen is 6 months
old! Where did the time go? His first 6 months went by a lot faster
than Gram's first 6 months. My heart longs for a tiny newborn again, so
small and new and snuggly. My heart anticipates the future when Owen can
run and jump and play with Gram...oh what a sight that will be! Yet in
the midst of all the change, my heart treasures the present with my sweet,
smiley O-bear. He is just so lovable and full of snuggles and smiles and
laughs and overwhelming cuteness. And let's not
forget..determination! He is strong and determined to catch up with Gram
sooner rather than later. Our pediatrician is totally amazed at how early
he was sitting and with what strength and ease he is moving all around (even
though he's the size of a 9 month old!) He is truly a delight and such a
blessing to our family.
