Genesis 21:6 TEV "God has brought me joy and laughter. Everyone who hears about it will laugh with me."

God indeed has been good to us. More than good actually, lavish. Lavishing us with so many wondrous things in life, especially the gift of lives which He so generously entrusted unto us. May we, as parents, do our part, patiently loving and leading our little ones, every day.
On time and change:
They say that the days feel long but the years are short. How true.
It seems not long ago we lifted our tiny firstborn in our arms. And then... sooner that i'd expected or realized, that 'some time ago' was the last time i lifted him up in my arms that way, and it was. It was the very last time.
May we pay attention to the now and cherish this moment with our beloved children.
Amen.
A little note to Isaac:
My dearest son Isaac,
60 months you have been with mummy and papa, and in a whirl of time, you have grown from a wee baby to a fit toddler. So soon, that next year you will already be in kindergarden, only a year away from Primary 1!
To celebrate You, here's a brief pictorial about you and how blessed we are to have you in our lives:
