Cherish the moments....

A friend of ours lost her beautiful 20 year old daughter in a bicycle accident a few months ago. This girl wasn't just any girl. She attended our small christian school with our older kids and was always a paragon of love, kindness and joy.

Her mom wrote this about the grief she's experiencing. It reminded me to be thankful for every moment. Not just the moments where my kids are acting good. Not just the moments when they clean up after themselves. Not just the times when they aren't arguing.

After I read her post I immediately went to every child who was in bed getting ready to go to sleep. I held their feet. They thought I was crazy, but I don't care because I was holding their perfectly mortal feet. And it felt wonderful.
