The Heart of the Home

Where does the time go? Today, DS woke up a 7 year old. I remember 7 years ago like it was yesterday. I was reminded today how quickly the time goes and he will leave the protective hedge of our home and family. In this much time again, he will be a teenager and be looking towards his adulthood. Wow!
He woke up this morning exclaiming that 7 year olds listen to their parents, get dressed when asked, brush their teeth when asked. Mike and I were thoroughly enjoying this newfound desire to be a more obedient and flexible child. Even in church, he stood up when we all stood up (something he hasn't been doing willingly), and even tried to read and recite the Lord's Prayer and Apostle's Creed. He exuded confidence like we hadn't seen before. Wonder how long it will last?
For now, we had a great day of having a birthday celebrated with our family close to us. Something we have not had in a few years. DS had a confident day of being an official "big boy." I will treasure this day. No matter what tomorrow holds as far as obedience or anything else, today was special. And a good reminder to treasure our son for our days are "as a vapor."
Happy Birthday, special boy! I love you!

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY!!!
Yup, 7 is a big deal. Now you're in big boy territory!
Regarding your comment on my blog, I think I would go insane if I had to DRIVE to El Paso! Wowzers, that is a long way...not matter where in Tx you're driving from, it is a long, neverending expanse of bleh.
Good thing you don't have to drive to Korea-- flying takes long enough!
Have a great Valentine's Day!
Love,
Marsha

Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words. I'd write more but the baby is awake :)
I look forward to reading your entries. I haven't seen many military wives on this forum.
