Kids Grow Up Fast

This is from our vacation in Orlando, FL at Disney World a few years ago. You don't really realize how quick your children are growing up until you look back a couple of years and see how much they have grown since then.

 I hadn't been very motivated to plan out a vacation for the family this year until my wife posted some pictures on Facebook from this previous vacation.  But as soon as I realized how much they had grown in just a couple of years, I became aware that soon my children wouldn't be children for much longer.

I'm embarrassed that it took seeing these pictures to wake me up from my contentment with just cooking out in the back yard and taking short one day road trips.  And the kids never complained or asked to go anywhere.  They know I have chronic pain syndrome and fibromyalgia and that long trips are hell for me.

My kids always put me before their own needs and they are always doing things for me and constantly asking me if I need anything.  They are a blessing from God to me.  Maybe it's time for me to try and be a blessing to them.

Let God's will be done.
