I realized something. life will run off with you if you let it. Sometimes, you just have to stop and breathe it in. My prayer lately has been, "Heavenly Father, help me remember how quickly this is going by. Help me appreciate every single day–even the hard ones. Show me the beauty in each moment–even the bad ones.”
This has been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe because school is getting ready to start. Maybe because my husband is employed with a job that takes him away from our family EVERY week. Maybe because our son with super powers is showing signs of being independent. Here’s the deal: It’s our job to raise independent kids; but no one tells you how to handle it when it really happens. Maybe because I'm at "that" stage of my life that "things" don't matter - just my family and making sure they remember joy yesterday, experience joy today, and anticipate joy tomorrow.
The cure isn’t to slow down. That’s impossible. The cure is a heart of wisdom. The wisdom to know that broken dishes, stained clothes, and spilled food are never reasons to lose your temper. The wisdom to know that school assignments can always be done later. The wisdom to know that every moment is a sacred moment–changing diapers, snuggling on the sofa, swinging at the park, even that last drink before really going to bed. They’re all sacred, if you can just slow down enough to see it.
I have a lot of emotions running through my mind. I feel like it's time to get back to blogging and spending less time on social media.
