2015- New Years Day

wow-I have blown it already. Life struggles never seem to match up how you expect them too . Lord quiet my heart change me to be more like you. Let the words of my tongue be kind. I was looking through pictures of a friend last night. She was having children same time as I, we both lived in Chicago are. Our names both Linda- our first children's name Jason Matthew. Her birthday was day before mine. Both have 2 boys and a girl. Only the girl is married just like my children. I haven't seen them since they were small, I remember their cute faces, things they did and said. In all the pictures is a picture of my friend's grave stone- she's been gone 10yrs now. Brain cancer. How quickly our lives come and go. Yrs fly. Raising our children, it seems like forever in the difficult stages. We need a perspective in those 20yrs. Treasure each moment, thankful for them both good and bad. Soon gone, we cannot call them back. Forward on to our future- reliance on Christ- to become more like him.
