Time flies so quickly

This picture was taken in October of 2005, just after Aliza started Kindergarten.


This morning as I dropped her off at 7:15 for a Student Council meeting and watched her run into the school, I felt a twinge on my heartstrings.  She has grown up so much.  So strong, so beautiful, so independent.

  This is her last year in Elementary. 

Next year she'll be in the 5th-6th grade Intermediate School, with a schedule, a locker and stairs.

Where did the time go?

3 friends are talking:

I feel the same way when I look at pictures...then I let out a heavy sigh and don't know if I should be happy or sad.

She looks so cute.

Ugh! Bryn starts kindergarten this fall. I am so depressed. Time flies too quickly. I know in a blink I will be saying the same thing. Aliza's such a cutie.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
