Lexi had her first day of VBS today. She is grouped with her friends Colbie and Parker and is so excited about this week! When I picked her up today all the groups were together singing. The leaders announced 5th grade (5th graders cheered), 4th grade (4th graders cheered), etc. When they got to kindergarten I teared up. I couldn't see Lexi in the mass of kids, but I could picture her face smiling with pride about being a big kindergartener. It makes me tear up typing this...where did our baby girl go? She is almost in elementary school. I am so proud of her and the young girl she has become. She blesses me and Jason and so many people around her. She can light up a room in seconds and she is as sweet as pie. Ah, our kindergartener, our blessing.
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
