I would like to share something to mothers of young children. Last night I had a dream that I went back in time to when our 26 year old son, Donald, who is now in a wheelchair, was 4 or 5. We were living in Campbell in my dream. He was outside playing in the yard. I went outside and sat down beside him. I took in everything about him, the way he talked, his smile, his hair, everything. I looked into his big brown eyes and I thought, I know whats going to happen to you. Then he started to sing a little song that he had made up and I smiled, taking it all in. And I thought, I know whats going to happen to you. And then I picked him up and I held him, and I held him, and, I held him. And he let me. And as I held him the day went by. The neighbor girl, Erin Harvey, came out of the house. Now in my dream she appeared older than my son was in my dream. In real life she is younger than this son. And as I watched her come down her stairs all carefree, I thought, I know what a beautiful young lady you are going to become. And then I thought, I need to start supper. But then I said to myself, no, supper can wait. And I sat there and I held my son. This is what I believe I need to share with mother of young children: Enjoy, treasure, cherish the time you have with your children when they are young. Our children are a gift from God given to us to raise in the knowledge of Him and to release out into the world. So, those dishes? They can wait. Supper? Yea, you have to feed your families, but it can wait. That book you want to read? It will still be there. That cell phone? PUT IT DOWN!! Look deep into your childrens eyes. Can they wait? I guess thats up to you.
