This summer is coming to a close and it has me getting a bit sentimental and nostalgic. Is it possible to get nostalgic about moments and a season of life that just occurred? In the last several months, there have been sweet times where I have stopped short in my tracks. I have ceased to move and simply soaked. I have soaked in the sheer joy that these two boys exude and thus, bring out from my own heart. I have realized the beauty of the right now. The little boy wonder and curiosity. The bright blue eyes-so-wide with amazement. In this present, in the now, there are nuggets of growth, change, refinement, laughter, happy hearts and challenges, peace in surrender, love that is undeniable. I don't want to miss this. I will forever remember this summer as one of hard, uncertain times and joy-filled, live-right-now moments. And while our hearts prepare and we get more excited with each passing day to welcome a new little one into our lives, there is an unexplained feeling of contentment that comes from knowing we are in His will and blessed beyond words by the gifts only He can give. The beauty of right now is just that: beautiful.
