Every day I drive to Lawrence to spend 4-6 hours with two of the sweetest, loving children I have ever met. Today was like any other day expect William and I had to run to the store. While there we took a little trip to the land of bread for a treat and some alone time. This little stop was the high light of my day. Just sitting and talking to him over coffee and a sticky bun was so much fun. It made me slow down, take a second. I realized I have known this little guy since birth and now fast approaching not only his 2nd birthday but the families move to another state had me feeling sad and a tad lonesome. I love this family, they have been a constant support to me in prayers and love. They are a dream family to work for and I know I will never find another one like them. I know I have made life long friends. So as I think of all these things allowing myself to stop and just soak in these moments with this amazing little man, we begin to walk to the car. William stops cold and says " stop and smell the flowers with me, Shannon'. My heart stopped , I am sure we have done this a hundred times but today it had more meaning, today it was a nudge from the Holy Spirit telling me to embrace this moment that God was giving me, not to let the world over take me but just to stop and smell the flowers.
