Goodbye Newborn Clothes
April 15, 2008Why is it so hard to put away those newborn, 0-3 month clothes? Our newest little guy is getting so big. It is so amazing to watch him learn new things, and grow as God intended. I am thankful that he’s getting bigger, and is healthy. (We really wouldn’t want them to stay tiny forever, because that’s not how God has ordered things.) But there is a sense of brief sadness as I choose what to save and what to give away. I strive to live in this moment and not to regret, or hold too tightly to the past. We have blessed memories of our little ones when they’re tiny, and we have today to enjoy with them now. Oh Lord, I pray You’d help me to be in this moment and to live it to the fullest for Your glory! Thank you for these little ones that do grow so quickly, and thank you for the mother’s heart that cherishes those sweet and fleeting newborn snuggles and smells. It’s because of You that we are able to love them!

Oh, how I feel your pain. I pray the same for myself that God would help me to live in the moment, to be thankful for what He’s given me, and to “smile at the future.” Babies are “the best”, eh? But there’s more “best” to come. Every good and perfect gift comes from our Father in heaven, yah? Love to you sis.

Hey Stephanie! It was nice to meet you today! I’m not sure if you will get this because this is a pretty old post, but I’d thought I would try!
