The Best Days Of Your Life

Lamentations 4:1 "How the gold has lost its luster, the fine gold has become dull! The sacred gems are scattered at the head of every street."

     "How much of mothering we miss because our focus is simply on surviving! We act as though the business of raising our children is simply something we must get through before we tackle the really important stuff of life. Sure, we all seethe at well-intended advice from kindly grandmothers in grocery stores who tell us (as we wrestle with three cranky kids in the check out line), "These are the best days of your life! Enjoy them because they pass so quickly!"
     "Not quickly enough," we mutter under our breath. But these women do have a point-one that comes with the wisdom of their years. The stage of mothering young children is a stage. It only feels like an era! And it will pass. It will not last forever. It will end one day.
     Gold loses its luster and becomes dull. But investing in the life of a child is an investment that will last forever. Make the most of life's irretrievable moments-now."

~Mom's Devotional Bible
