Gracie and I have been totally absorbed in a book we have been reading titled 'Daisy May.' It is a real treat to hear her read because she does so with such fluency, enthusiasm and expression in her voice. I remember so clearly teaching my three to read, as if it were yesterday. Teaching each of them was a milestone in their development but also for me as a parent. It really got me thinking about the different and many milestones they had experienced throughout their early years, learning to walk and talk, potty training, first day at school and the milestones that were yet to come. Actually our babies are remarkable beings................... thinking about the map of development from birth to just toddlerhood, all in God's perfect design. In fact if one were to catalogue all of these amazing milestones it would make inspiring reading!
Thank goodness the milestones continue into adulthood as we continue on this journey called life, but as works in progress, clay in the hands of our Father, the potter. Each milestone is an acievement, to be celebrated!
Milestones in the lives of our children contribute towards the memories we keep in our hearts and should serve as a reminder of the Master Craftsman, the Lord God who created us, perfectly in His image. However there can be no greater milestone for each of us than when we make the decision to invite Him into our hearts and today (day 144) I am thankful that I made that decision and humbled that He accepted my invitation.
Talking of milestones, a very special lady in our lives achieved one today. Happy 50th birthday to you Comfort.
Be truly blessed this week-end..............................
