Captured Moments

Each day, God blesses me with simple moments of joy. Little bits of His love being shown to me. Usually this joy is found in the smile of my children or the sound of their laughter. Other times it is found in the silliness of my dogs or the joking nature of my husband. But more often than not, those moments are being captured in the stillness of a photograph.

Andy Warhol said it best when he said, "The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people do."

Holding onto those moments as my children grow ever so rapidly.
