moments

I am reminded, as this holiday season is upon us, that our lives are so beautifully complex & busy. But in this season (& throughout the rest of the year, too!), God presents us with moments in time, little things that we can create memories from, special seemingly insignificant minutes & fleeting seconds where beauty occurs. It snows, the kids are peaceful, the house is quiet & everyone is asleep, the stars are all shining brightly, your children are jumping in a mud puddle & giggling. Whatever those moments are, set everything down, get up from the TV or the computer, put away the cell phone & live those moments. As time passes, these are the moments that you will look back on & remember with wistful appreciation. Time moves too quickly to let a memory-making moment pass unaware.
