Multitude Monday

586. 11 year old boys
587. the 11 year olds siblings
588. birthday cakes and candles
589. child eyes that light up with joy at a simple gift
590. days filled with laughter
591. memories of birthday's gone by
592. trying to capture each moment in my mind
593. games which encourage conversation and laughter
594. tired bodies falling into bed, quickly falling to sleep
595. kids on sleds
596. sounds about the house. washing machine and dryer running, dishwasher running, school movie playing as children watch intently. Sounds that remind me of how blessed we are.
597. my eyes fill with tears as I stop to reflect all that God has given me.
598. Time
599.

I enjoyed my visit at your blog today and encourage you as you seek to serve the Lord and be a role model for those precious 11 year old boys.
It is hard to capture each moment and tuck them away but you are wise to stop, and live in each moment and treasure the memories. Time goes by all too quickly!
