Blink of an Eye

I got an email the other day from my ex husband Bob. Actually it was an email of photos that had been taken when Walt, our son, was just a baby. I think this came as a result of my anxiety over Walt falling in love and his plans to propose to his young lady this weekend. I was lamenting at how quickly time passes and grieved that I don't have that little boy anymore. Silly, I know but it's so true!! Time goes by in a blink. The scriptures say it's a "vapor".
But as much as I'd like to hold on, kicking and screaming, time marches on and I am pleased to announce that on Sept 30, my dear son proposed to his love, Annie. I am thrilled because I know that God had this planned from before they were born. I have prayed for years for the young lady that God was preparing for Walt and finally I get to see her and talk with her. She told me yesterday, "but you don't even know me!" Yet I told her, "but Walt does" and that's enough for me.....knowing in my heart that God brought her into our lives.
This photo is the only one I have of the two of them so far. I think it shows that they are going to have a fun and exciting life. Knowing that they are both working for the Lord and love Him first and foremost is a blessing beyond what a mother could hope for.
All I can say is thank you Lord for answering my prayer and thank you that I can hold all those memories, that have passed like a vapor, in my heart to cherish forever.
