Encouragement Today and Weekend Reminder

img_8650Today’s inspiration is coming via another moment of tranquility.

We had some amazingly beautiful weather the past couple of days so yesterday’s adventure took us to Corolla in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

God’s revelation, while we enjoyed our beautiful day together, was that our kids are never to old to spend quality time together.

My friend, if you have a child or children in your life, no matter if they are yours or they are your nieces and nephews or they are just children in your life you love, it is never to late to spend some time with them building bonds and relationships that will be forever etched in their minds and their hearts.

Your weekend reminder today is to be sure to incorporate the time to build on those relationships. If you find the time to build on them, you will be amazed at how rejuvenated you will feel at the end of the day.

Enjoy the small people God blessed you with. Take the time to play, cuddle, love on, talk to, read to, and do whatever it is that you both enjoy. The bonding time will be priceless at the end of the day or at the end of the weekend.

Take some time this weekend to invest in your relationships. Your important people will feel loved and you will walk away feeling refreshed.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom. The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
