Well, they're packed and we've said our goodbyes. I
remember thinking on Max and Jenny's wedding day back in Jan. of '08 how hard the day they moved was going to be, but also thinking, "It's a ways off." As it turns out, I hit it right on the head with that first thought but I missed the mark with the second. But wasn't their wedding just yesterday?? (For that matter, wasn't it just yesterday that Jenny and I were running around in our PJ's
toting rubber ducky and dancing to
Linus and Lucy??)
Time sure has a way of passing. Good times always pass too quickly and hard times have that talent of feeling like they last longer than they should :-p Seasons come and seasons go. And just when we think that the next chapter couldn't possibly be as good as the last, God says, "If you trust me, I can make it
better than the last." This day is definitely one where we are turning a page and beginning a new chapter. And though we cry and watch with tear-streaked faces as a season closes we cling to the promise of God's comfort and perfect plan that says, "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28, NIV)
