Tomorrow will be my youngest sons last elementary track meet I am both excited and sad by this prospect.  I remember his first track meet, the children they were so cute and funny always looking around to see if their moms and dads were watching, not sure of what to do and always confident they would be the one to win every race.

Now 5 years later they are all still confident they will win the race but they now their worry more about if there friends are standing next to them or how cool they look in their new track shoes. It weird to see them all growing up and becoming young men and women but this is the way it’s supposed to be.

There was a time when all my boys were just starting school when I though I had all the time in the world to enjoy them but now as my youngest will participate in his last elementary track meet, I find that I am reflecting a bit on how quickly the time has flown by and I am glad I was there for all the big days, you know the class parties, the field trips, and their track meets, baseball games and basketball games. I am blessed to could go to all these special events some parents are not so bless and have to choose to put food on the table or enjoy watching their children grow up.   

So tomorrow as I watch my boy run his little heart out I will be thanking the Lord for this day and all the ones that have come and gone and all the ones to come.
