A long time ago, a blog friend wrote a post about certain times in her life when she wishes she could capture the moment with a camera, but knowing that the moment could never actually be captured. She prayed that God would be gracious and if she'd stop in those moments He would specially store them somewhere in her brain for her to think back on later.

Jeremiah has often talked about a similar idea of an eye camera that would instantly record as you wished. Wouldn't that be great?!

There have been a few of those moments lately in my life that I'd love to stop and capture, but know that the moment is fleeting and can only hope that the Lord has stored them up for me as a scrapbook to look through with Him when we sit together in glory!

Sitting today at the computer, doing the bills, I turned to see all the giggling as Aphia and Isaiah were chasing each other and playing peekaboo around the island in the kitchen.

Watching my baby (who... dare I say... is and will always be the baby) walk all over, knowing that he is not a baby anymore.

Peeking in the boys room to see Daddy and Jones having a discussion about being a Christian, being baptized and other things that are on a little 6 year old mind as the night winds down. And specifically how incredibly his daddy talked through those big things so that he could perfectly undertand them.

Watching Uncle Richie be so enthusiastic about taking Jonah out in the huge snowfort that he built.

Sitting with my babe, watching Sesame Street. With him actually sitting, snuggling, and relaxing for a good 15 minutes.

Seeing Jonah's joy-filled face when I brought his boots to him, that he had forgotten in the car, right before recess time and hearing his best buddy Jack say to him, "Your wish came true!!"

Watching Aphia excell, with bravery and courage, at her pre-school screening and score well above and beyond where she "needs to be."

Seeing the older two in the Christmas program on Sunday at church, singing praises of worship!
