So today is Elizabeth's 2nd Birthday!!! I know it is cliche but I have to say that I cannot believe that she is already 2 years old! When asked how old she is, she responds "2 Minutes!!!"
Maybe there is some truth to this statement. Now...I first must explain that she probably says this because she has to sit in time out for 2 minutes but I have been thinking of this for the good part of the morning. I truly feel some days that she has only been in my life for 2 minutes.
I am overwhelmed with emotion today because I cannot help but feel grateful for God allowing me 2 years with His precious child. My heart hurts for those that have not been able to see their child's second birthday. How quickly do we forget just how lucky we are to spend even 2 minutes with those we love. In just 2 years, Elizabeth has taught be so many things:
- To love deeper than I ever thought was possible
- My patience threshold is very low
- My priorities need realigning every day
- I cannot raise this child alone
- I am more aware of the need for Jesus not only in my life but in lives of children
- My house has never been so dirty before
- There is no mute button once they start talking
- Her singing You are My Sunshine will always melt my heart
- She is a reminder of God's amazing grace and tr
