A special day. Today I woke up in one of those moods that you have so much to do, that you don't even know where to begin. I had to get dressed and showered b/f the kids were off to school b/c today we had g's cmas class party. I had to make sure ellie had her stuff ready for school, g's lunch packed, the recycling out front to be picked up, teacher gifts ready, breakfast fed, I just felt like I was in a tissy.
I got ellie out the door, and g and i headed to school. I was still in a little bit of a mood. G said, mommy- let's sing this morning on the way to school....I thought- ok. So he started singing- jesus loves me, then away in a manger, then mary had a baby. By the time we got to school from our house (only 1.5 miles away)- my eyes were full of tears. Tears that were thankful ones. Tears that made me think about what today was going to hold...what was I going to do with today. My little boy jumped out of the car and started running to his classroom- so fast- I had to start running myself. He was sooooooooooooo excited to see his friends and to tell his teachers- Merry Christmas. He knew this was his last day of school b/f cmas comes. He is still at the age that he'll kiss me goodbye (oh my goodness, the day this stops, sad sad!). He then runs the a certain window in his classroom and waves goodbye to me, as i walk out the door- i turn around ever school day and see his bright smile wave back, and then we both blow each other a kiss- then give each other a thumbs up (meaning, you're going to have a great day)! These memories are the sweetest gifts to hold on too. I know he is getting bigger and each day- I want to hold them just a little longer. My heart has been so tender these last few months with the life struggles with in my family- but God has for sure shown up. He has shown me his grace, he unchanging love, and his true forgiveness.
