Impending SNOW in New York---a real nor'easter. It even has a name. Winter snow storm "Reggie."
"....a time to weep, a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance" (Ecclesiastes 3:4)
That's life---"unto everything there is a season." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
All week we have had laughter and dancing and I need to focus on that. Great family memories.
But.....I also don't need to repress the sadness. I didn't.
The tears flowed as last year we only saw them once. Even this time "Mommy" had to stay home and teach. So, I cried for all of that. I don't even know when we'll see them again so I added that to the tears as well.
But God and other family members reminded me the importance of remembering the recent "season" of family celebrations.
and had dinner in Cinderella's palace with her 6 male cousins and met lots of other princesses.
That helps me to smile through the sadness, though my heart still aches.
