I absolutely love this picture, look at my sweet husband and darling grandkids, and now we have two more on the way! It’s so thrilling but I have to be honest with you, when I looked at this picture I thought, “where has time gone? Wasn’t it yesterday these sweet little ones were my own children?” I’m so thrilled my kids are married to wonderful people and have started families of their own, there’s no greater joy on earth… But… Where did the time go? Time is something we talk about ALL THE TIME! For instance: Do you have time? What time is it? Let’s make time. I don’t have time right now. Time is of the essence. It’s time to go! It’s about time! Time’s up! There’s more… but what I do know about time is God gave ALL of us the same amount of minutes in every hour. Those minutes are the same no matter if you’re at work, cleaning the house or sitting through a movie… but they can sure feel different, don’t they? I certainly can’t slow time down (believe me I’ve wished for it) but I can do things that will make my time more meaningful… and I want to stress this as strongly as I can, you do not have to do huge things to have meaningful experiences with other people! There were many times the Savior changed someone’s life just by giving people a “moment” of His time. He was never in a hurry when it came to ministering to people. His apostles sometimes tried to keep him moving on to the next place but the Savior knew something very important about time… it was His to give. He could offer people very little in the way of material things, but he did have time, and He gave it freely!

Appreciating Every Moment with Loved Ones

Marie went on to express her gratitude for the incredible journey she's had in life. "I’m so thrilled my kids are married to wonderful people and have started families of their own," she wrote. "There’s no greater joy on earth… But… Where did the time go?"

She then delved into a deeper reflection about the importance of appreciating the time we have with our loved ones, even if it sometimes feels fleeting. "What I do know about time is God gave ALL of us the same amount of minutes in every hour," she explained. "Those minutes are the same no matter if you’re at work, cleaning the house or sitting through a movie… but they can sure feel different, don’t they?"

Fans Respond with Love and Support

Marie's fans couldn't agree more with her heartfelt message. "Awesome grandchildren Marie. Time really does fly by lately. It just keeps going and going and going. Love them up," one user commented. Others praised her inspiring words, writing, "You truly amaze me every time I see you or read something of yours! You are a true Angel from above and you give so much of yourself for others.
