I have had a few days lately where I have told myself, "Remember this...remember how they look right this minute; remember how you feel right now. memorize this." Here are some of the things that have triggered this thought:
~ Sam and Jacob really playing together for the first time. They both were laughing and actually didn't need me. It melted me just to watch them together.
~ The way Jacob looks when he walks. How he gets so excited after he has taken a couple of steps that he laughs and then that makes him fall down.
~ The way that Sam looks when I pick him up from school. He puts his head down and those big, blue eyes gaze up at me and he says, "hi, mama." Be still.
~ The way Sam and David look all cuddled up on the couch together.
~ The way Jacob pats me on the back when I pick him up out of his crib and how "mama" sounds in his precious little voice.
~ The way Sam says "Jacob-y" to Jacob every morning.
~ Listening to Sam explain something to me.
~ Watching Sam "teach" Jacob how to do something.
~ The way that my heart feels when I know that one of the greatest callings in this life is to raise these two precious little guys to become men of God. The weight of the responsibility that sits on me when I think about it and the relief that comes when the Lord reminds me that He equips me for every single day. That will never get old.

That was beautiful!
as one might say......remembering the past and simply the days we have been giving right in front of us; is a chance to remind us how good God has been to us. He's so good to us.
