The ups and downs of the days hold me tight. Lord, let me hold onto you tighter. 

Ungranted Wishes Turn to Playful Days

I often feel guilty over all that my children don't get to experience, as in trips to Europe, sailing camp, and Florida spring breaks. 

However, today I had a moment when I was reminded of the value in the simple life. My creative, inspiring children treasure the fun of playing in a lake, roasting smores, and riding their bikes. 

I am giving them an incredibly playful childhood. Many of my ungranted wishes for them can be experienced as an adult, but these precious days as a playful child will be counted gone way too soon.
