Enjoy the moment

I decided to stay in tonight with my kids. It was a night filled with popcorn and Disney movies, playing house, pretending I'm Wendy from Peter Pan, reading stories and playing games with them. After I put Alexia and Cayden down to sleep I went into their rooms to put some clean clothes away and I just stood beside both of their beds and really just enjoyed the moment. Being a parent is difficult at times, but it is one of the greatest jobs in the world. After I prayed for them and left their rooms I couldn't help but think of how my life gets SO busy and I often don't just take the time to enjoy the moment. Life gets too busy with going here and there and doing our daily things and we often forget to stop and enjoy the moment. Tonight was such a huge reminder for me just to SLOW DOWN and don't look ahead and worry about tomorrow, but just be grateful for all the many blessings God has given to me. So my challenge to you is, stop, slow down and enjoy the moment that God has placed you in. Even in the hard times know that there is a reason why you're there and learn what God is trying to teach you in that situation. Lastly, cherish the good times and don't become too busy to recognize all that God has blessed you with.
