endearing

 
I have had so many endearing moments this week just staring at our kids. 
 

 
Some days are so incredibly overwhelming that I have a hard time seeing straight.  So it is good for me to just sit and stare and soak up the gifts I've been given. 
 
But this season I'm in will look a bit different in a few months time, and drastically different next year at this time.  I don't want to rush it,  I truly love my children's ages and stages and I want to embrace it and hold onto the grace God is holding out to me each step of the way.
