Time.
We have a limited amount of it.
Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Tomorrow will come and we will have 24 more hours to make the most of our time.
What if, sweet moms, we purposed to make the most of that time by being fully present with our families.
Fully aware.
Fully involved.
and fully ready to see what God would have us do with each of those minutes in that day for our kids and our families.
It’s not a checklist, nor is it a “dream” of all the great things you will get done that day, but it is simply savoring the normal, everyday moments that are happening around you.
Trust me on this, it goes by too quickly.
My “baby” will be turning eighteen next month and my “big boy” will be turning twenty.
It feels like I blinked and probably missed a few of those moments. So, take it from a mama who knows, hold those babies tight, smother them with smooches and be there, I mean really there, when you are with them.
Ask Him to show you how to make the most of your time with your family and watch how He shows you His wisdom and grace through it.
Seeking JOY on the Journey,
