Don’t Wish For Time To Fly

DON’T WISH FOR TIME TO FLY

Dear Daughter~

Don’t wish for time to fly.
Don’t wish to grow up too soon~
To be in school, or junior high,
high school or college.
To be married and then wish you could have a house and children.
And then to wish those children right past the baby years and then the toddler years, the terrible twos or the hormonal teens.
Don’t wish to have an empty nest and time to yourself.

Soon enough dear daughter, all these things will come to pass~
and one day you will wish that you hadn’t wished them away so quickly.

That you looked for the incredible joy in every single moment of every single day.

Savor the wonder of your childhood~
your baby dolls, your make believe.
Savor the comfort in the care of a mommy and daddy.

Savor that time of new love with your soul mate. Determine to truly see the young love in his eyes as he looks your way, and the even greater love of that spouse as the fleeting years go by.

Savor the early morning sunrise over a little extra sleep, the soft breathing of your babe against your chest, the giggles and little footsteps coming down the stairs, the tears of a teen as she confides in her mama.

Enjoy the rain drops and the snow. The home you call your own. The family God has given you. The precious promises of God.

Dear daughter~ don’t wish for tomorrow’s. It will all be gone before you know it, and one day you will wish it back.

Don’t take life for granted.
Don’t take today for granted.
Look for God in every moment, no matter how good or bad that moment may seem.

He is there.
He is always there.

Don’t be in such a hurry that you miss the incredible blessings God is giving you right now.
Right this very moment.
Stand still in that moment.
Take in the blessings of your Father.

Don’t look for happiness in the “if only’s”.
Look at all you have today.
Today is a joyful celebration,
if you will only open your eyes to its beauty.

Purpose in your heart to choose thankfulness each morning of each day for the rest of that beautiful life.

Your life.

No sweet daughter~
Don’t wish for time to fly.

Psalm 118:24
Ecclesiastes 2:24, 3:13
