Winter Wonderland...
We had our first snow this week and it was beautiful to wake up to, everything was covered in a layer of pure white snow. Winter has come...today I woke up to - 22 Celsius but the sun was shining and the air was still...the sun can feel so warm on a day that is crisp and still.
It's been a while since I've been on Flickr...life is full here. Tomorrow we say good bye to our youngest son, he's heading out to Alberta to find some work. It's going to be hard on this mom's heart but I trust that he's in the LORD's hands and He'll watch over him. The house will be quiet without him...he could add a lot of life to this home maybe not always welcomed :) he could be a little pestery to his sisters, but even that I'm sure will be missed. So tomorrow we're up bright and early to head to the airport...his first flight...his first time away from home...changes.
Changes can bring so many mixed emotions. We're excited for him and yet as his mom I can be fearful...it's hard to let go. But in the letting go our kids can grow. And that's what we pray for him, that his time away will be an opportunity for growth.
