Work, For the Night Is Coming...

Today, I went on a trip down to Nostalgia.

The little cousin, newly graduated with flying colors

from first grade, was reading to the big cousin, 

my oldest daughter.

The past flashed before my eyes, as I pondered how,

not so long ago, that 'big cousin' was my first

first grader and now, she is about to graduate

from  high school and is entering the world 

of adulthood more each day.

I am loving this stage of my life, with teenagers,

and one 'almost' teenager, and I look forward

to the days when my children are moved on to

their work outside my home,

but I sure did get bitten by nostalgia a little as

I took this picture today.

The 18 years since this child of mine was born

have literally passed by as swiftly as a weaver's shuttle.

What work I have done, I trust to the Lord, and know I have

done it with a heart of sincerity and earnestness.

However, I call out to us all to be purposeful in the work we

are called to do, whatever it is.

It's over before we know it.

Today, while opportunity knocks, let us

be up and doing...

We Have This Moment
