Father's Day Dinner 2012<\/p><\/div>
\nThere is nothing like the sound of your children\u2019s laughter as they remember stories of their youth.
\nI come from a family of great story tellers. Each person’s version is unique and it makes for a fun time.
\nAs the weekend wound to a close, I spent the evening combing through old pictures on my computer.
\nI was reminded how quickly time passes. I realized this was Steve\u2019s twenty-sixth father\u2019s day.
\nReally? Where has the time gone?
\nIt wasn\u2019t that long ago that Zane painted a big rock in his elementary school class to give to Steve as a Father\u2019s day gift.
\nIt seemed like he became a man in the blink of an eye.
\nNow Zane is about to become a father himself.
\nSome days I get frightened that the days are going by too quickly. If not for my journal where I record the memories, I\u2019d forget all that God has done in these days.
\nBut this I know.
\nThe One who made time, has counted every moment as precious.
\nHe has ordained every day before one of them came to be.
\nHe sees me and all my concerns about missing that moment in time and He says, Gigi, focus your eyes on me and I will help you through the times and seasons I\u2019ve ordained for you.<\/em>
\nI don\u2019t want to forget.
\nSo I write it down.
\nI hope you write it down too.
\nGod Bless your sweet memories.
