This is my soon to be grandbaby.....player yet to be announced. Arrival due late January but as you can see he or she is definitely making their presence known.

Time.....What a precious gift

Yes, I know it's almost time for Wordless Wednesday ......but my tasty Tuesday tidbit for you is time.

Time is such a special gift. When we give someone our time we tell them that they are special and worthy of our undivided attention. We tell them (without words) that we love them and that spending time with them it a high priority.

Whether it's attending a sporting event, late night talks in your pajamas, shopping, or enjoying a shared moment together, ...Time is my LOVE language. (Don't get me wrong, I do love gifts, words of encouragement, physical touch, and loving deeds too) But if you really want to speak my language then give me your time!

So I have felt quite adored the last few days with Grrrl being home. We've eaten so much Chick-fil-a that we should sprout pin feathers. We've shopped so much that the cashiers now know us. ("Say, weren't you here yesterday?") We laughed and cried over "girly movies" (4 in two days!) and I've listened to rants on everything from the ridiculous to the sublime and loved every minute of it.

All too quickly we will be taking her back to the airport and I will have to watch her leave again. I've been given strict instructions that I am not to cry.....(at least not in her presence) which will be very hard for me as I'm already puddling up just thinking about it.

The nice thing about the gift of time is that I can replay the tapes of these last few days over and over again in my head. I can look at the pictures and be right back in the moment. Time marches on but memories only get sweeter.
