Well it finally snowed in Atlanta yesterday. Emma has been wanting to see snow all winter. Spending her first 4 years in Taiwan…she had never seen snow before. It started snowing after church so the whole way home, she kept telling Nicole …”this is my first time to see the snow”. She was so excited! She loved the snow but kept saying that it’s too cold! Man, does she take after her mommy or what??
One of the fascinating aspects of adoption is that our daughter gets to verbalize all of her FIRSTS…her excitement & wonder is contagious. Too often we take the little things for granted…seeing God’s goodness in the snow, slowing down to actually enjoy a meal, & taking in the beauty that surrounds us. My prayer is that I will take the time to experience life and take it all in, not simply rush through the day and miss out on ALL the beauty that surrounds me.
I totally agree. I have just recently learned to stop and smell the roses. I see God in everything I do, especially playing with my kids! Even when they fight I see God in the opportunity to teach them. Life is so beautiful we should all slow down and immerse ourselves in the goodness of God!
Well put and very true!! You are such a precious Daddy!! I am blessed to have you as my husband. Love you!!
