When I asked my son to be sure to include a mother-son dance on his wedding agenda, he was skeptical. When I told him that I would need to explain it before we danced, he just complied and made it happen. Smart man.
See, when my boy was a baby, God gave me incredible clarity about one thing (and it felt like one thing only!) Motherhood is Seasonal – and seasons will change often and fast and sometimes with out notice.
Our family is in a huge season of transition. I’ve gone from a single mom with four kids at home, to only two kids at home seemingly overnight. But it wasn’t overnight! It was a long road. And I’m so glad that God has been putting rest, Sabbath and self-care higher and higher on my agenda. I think that’s what’s making this season change manageable.
I’m posting a link to the video of my mother-son dance explanation in hopes it blesses you. It’s just a video one of my daughters shot on a cell phone – quality isn’t stellar, but you can see and hear and get the message.
If I was a better organized blogger, I’d include an affiliate link for Kleenex. I’m told people need it!
(Oh, and the tie at the end is not explained, but is a tribute to my father who died when my son was 9…)

I pray you are able to embrace and enjoy today’s season! Whether it’s a hard season, or a great season, or a miserable one… it’s a season, and seasons change!
Awww, this is such a sweet post! Our little is pretty brand new, so we have a ways to go until she flies the coop, but my goodness has time already zoomed by:( Thank you for sharing!

I have felt both like time sped ahead and time stood still in my parenting journey. Enjoy the seasons ahead! It’s an awesome adventure.
