Don't forget to take a minute.....

We had sooooooo much fun in Kansas! It was so good to see everybody! I am always amazed at the fact it can be so long in between visits with people but everything just picks up right where it left off! I love that about home!!

I think sometimes we can get so caught up in the day to day frenzy.....working, laundry, cooking, cleaning, taxi service, etc.....that we forget to stop and just enjoy the simple little things in life. The simple things like: a freshly bathed little boy in his jammies just snuggling for a bit, or a little girl laying on the floor showering her kitten with love, or a teenage girl who can't stop laughing long enough to tell you what she is laughing about, or a teenage boy who grins over a BIG bowl of ice cream, or a loving husband who works all day and still chooses to grill "because it makes less mess for me in the kitchen"! They seem like little things in a hectic day, but really we need to slow down and freeze these pictures in our minds and hearts. All too soon the pictures change and grow.....don't let them go by without noticing.

It won't be that long before my oldest children will be coming home just for quick visits like ours back to Ks, so I plan to enjoy every minute of it....ok almost every minute! So if you're struggling with too much to do.....just remember to stop and take some happy minutes today to rejoice in your God given blessings! That laundry can wait!!

  1. This is a great reminder for me! However, I usually don't have any trouble choosing to wait on doing laundry. :)
