This morning I sat in church, feeling refreshed with the message, and with my husband and two of my children in the pew next to me (Robert was in the building but was helping to prepare for an event that was happening afterwards). It suddenly dawned on me how my dreams had come true.
That seems a little dramatic, but it's really not overstating the situation. When I was a teen, I attended church by myself. It was a four block walk from my home, and I made the trip most Sundays. I often sat with my best friend Kristen, and her sister Becca. Their mom was singing in the choir, and their father was the pastor. I would look around at all of the families, and I would envision the day when I would be sitting in the pew with my own family.
Even after getting married, there seemed a few years when that dream still seemed so far away. Today though, even though it has been this way for years, I really realized that young teenager's dream had come true. I am so grateful to have these moments. We are so blessed!
