Memories

So often I find myself forgetting to take pictures... pictures of the beauty all around me, the people I love etc. It's hard... to make time between work and life... to capture the life of those around me. Last week I was in a car wreck, and yes I'm fine, but it made me think again about how uncertain our time here on earth is. At any moment life can change drastically, the actual car wreck took about 5 seconds and yet as a result my car is 'totalled' in insurance terms (it would cost more to fix then it's worth, it was an 89 honda accord, so that doesn't say much about the actual damage done). Life is fragile, things change quickly, people grow up and things change rapidly. I want to take advantage of my life now, before it slips away and I wonder where all the time has gone.
I wanted to share some pictures of Callie and myself yesterday. We decided it was time that we enjoy the outdoors and go on an adventuring 'photo' date. Here's a few snapshots of my lovely, growing up to fast, 8 year old sister.
Keep loving, keep focused on God, life is good.

On a more serious note:
This morning a beloved member of our church passed away, he had been fighting for a long time and today it was time for him to go home. Warren-you will be missed, your smile, your laugh, your humor. The way you always made sure to let those around you know you cared and would brag on those you loved. We won't forget you. I can only imagine you up in heaven right now dancing in front of the Lord- celebrating being with Him. You were loved by many and we'll look after Nancy for you.

Rest in Peace
Warren Glore


Our God is good- make sure you know Him.
Blessings,
Carrie

    This brought tears to my eyes, lump in my throat, and a heavy heart. I know that I haven't known Warren all that long, but long enough to know how special of a person he was. I keep thinking about the conversation Warren and I had just a couple of weeks ago at church. He told me that he was proud of Erik and me and how beautiful our children were and how he loved to watch them interact. You are right, life is fragile, and it can change...very quickly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures. I need to start taking more pictures of my babies because life is short and once they are all grown and on their own I will need these memoires captured so I can look back and remember when...

    By the way the pictures of you and Callie are precious. She's a lucky girl to have such a loving beautiful sister like you! I know your mother is proud.
