Where Does the Time Go?

We spent some great days on vacation last week. We live on Prince Edward Island in Canada, so we had to fight numerous tourists for a campsite in Cavendish the hometown of L. M. Montgomery who wrote Anne of Green Gables. These pictures are some of the opportunities that we made with our kids this last week.

While we were getting ready to go, I told Dawn how I need to just take the time with Jonathan, Luke, and Benjamin to do more "guy" stuff together. When Jonathan was young I kept thinking I cannot wait until he is older so we can do this or that. Now that he is older, we have the younger ones to adapt much of our activity to. But in a few short years Jonathan will be out of the house pursuing God's plans for himself and we will no longer be together as we are now. Time is short, we must make opportunities. In most of the pictures of the kids, he stayed back out of it. I asked him, "Are these days that you begin to disappear from the family pictures?" I think it was a reality moment for us both.

Hi Brian,

I really appreciated your post. Yes #6 and your comments about it really do hit the target. They don't want an just a good example of a dad - they want dad. Anyway, God Bless Brother.
