Cinderella

I'm sure many of you have already heard and been touched by Steven Curtis Chapman's latest song "Cinderella", but I just felt compelled to blog it.

I must admit, I don't listen to Steven Curtis Chapman very much - I like his music ok, it's just not the first style of music I go to. His most recent song though, is so touching, most especially to those that have little girls, or even grown up girls.

I wonder why it takes a song, or somebody to actually say "cherish the times you have while your kids are little" to reflect on how true it is.

Why does it take pondering to realize just how precious a gem we have in front of our very own eyes? A sweet, dear child that wants and desires our time to talk to, play with, cuddle up to, show off to, and just be near us. How special these times are. I know there will come a day when Saiah will be all grown up and all these moments will be few and far between. But, right now we are blessed today with an amazing little girl.

"I don't want to miss even one song. Because all too soon, the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone."

So, here it is - a wonderful song to remind us to cherish the time with our children.
