Quality time

Ever since I cam home from Lima, Jeff has set up a schedule to get the kids on the bus every morning. (Usually I just drive them and let them sleep a little more.)

Well this morning they were dragging and the older kids got "punished" by having to ride alone on the way to daycare. Well the funniest thing happened (key in music, or press play below)...

We had the best conversation about sports, where they would drive if they could, what school is like for them... all in the extra 15 minutes that I spent with them. Instead of my last mom memory being of me yelling at them to hurry up, it was of explaining that many sports can be played by both girls and boys. I even named more tennis players than I thought I ever remembered.

Then this song came on the radio...

Find Your Wings

It’s only for a moment
that you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I’ll pray
for all that you might do
But most of all I’ll want to know
you’re walking in the truth

And if I’ve never told you
I want you to know that
as I watch you grow

I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
i’m here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings

May passion be the wind that leads
you through your days
and may convictions keep you strong
guide you on your way

May there be many moments
that make your life so sweet
but more than memories

I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
and that faith gives you the courage
to dare to do great things
i’m here for you whatever this life brings
so let my love give you roots
and help you find your wings

It’s not living if you don’t reach for the sky
I’ll have tears as you take off
But I’ll cheer you as you fly
I will give you roots and help you find your wings
