“Now is the time to get things done…wade in the water, sit in the sun, squish my toes in the mud by the door, explore the world of a girl just four.
Now is the time to study books, flowers, snails, how a cloud looks; to ponder “up,” where God sleeps nights, why mosquitoes take such big bites.
Later there’ll be time to sew and clean, paint the hall that soft new green, to make new drapes, refinish the floor – Later on…when she’s not just four.”
- Irene Foster
Lord, help me to be all that You've called me to be to these precious gifts that were specially given to me by You. These children really are a reward from You. Oh, how I love them!

WONDERFUL WORDS OF WISDOM.....
I can remember feeling the same way. Getting frustrated with the four of you and thinking that everything had to be done NOW and not enjoying the NOW time of your lives.
They are only little once. One day you wake up and they will be grown and gone. You will wonder how did time fly by so fast and why didn't I stop and enjoy them more when they were little.
The other things can wait...you only have them for a little while..
