Time flies when you’re having fun, or so the saying goes. The wisdom of other parents who are all too quick in telling you that time will soon pass by and before you know it your babies will soon be grown up and leaving home. A nice sentiment but my baby girl is just that, a baby, or was!
In my naivety I sit here today wondering where the past fifteen years have gone? The advice of those older and wiser than me was correct. My baby girl is no longer that, but all too quickly she is now a young lady.
Psalm 127 reminds us that “children are a heritage from the Lord” and therefore God’s gift to us. When grown up and standing alongside their parents “the children of one’s youth” ought to be such a blessing, and Sue and I can honestly say that this is true with both Yasmin and Owain. I thank God for giving us this beautiful young lady that stands before me today, truly a gift.
Happy Birthday Yasmin – 15 today!
