Days go by and I wonder if I'm savoring the moments in it. Sometimes, I lay in bed at night and remember how precious my blessings are, and I am totally guilty of getting my kids out of the bed only to cuddle them in ours. I need them to know how much they mean to me. It fills my heart and warms it from within when I can hold them tightly and tell them how much I love them.
The other night, as Stephen and I were getting ready for bed, we decided to grab up our little ones & have one of those "Midnight Movie Madness" nights. We cuddled, watched Wall-e, and enjoyed every moment of having the kids between us. I could see the ease and content spirit in my husband's eyes as his arm ran behind the pillows and their little heads. The kids also loved being in our big bed together to cuddle up as a family.
Life should be full of these moments. Why do we let time slip away, instead? Yes, we have to get up and navigate a day full of schedules that bring their own challenges, but don't allow that to make you lose focus of what is right in front of you...life and all it has to offer. Thank you, Lord.
