I am ready for things to slow down and I want to take 2011 at a much slower pace. I want to focus my efforts on home and the hearts that reside in my beautiful home.
I am learning to take life day by day, because if I worry too much about tomorrow, I will certainly lose today.
I am also learning the value of life and loved ones. It only takes an instant for things to change forever. Hold those you love close to you, remind them of your love. Speak to them in their love language.
You will never regret hugs, soft spoken words, and gentle kisses across rosy cheeks.
You will never regret hearing the chuckle of your parent as you remember a fun time together.
You will be humbled as you lift a spoon to their mouths and wipe their precious, wrinkling chins.
Oh, if only we could redeem the time already lost.
But we can start anew each day, because HIS mercies are new every morning.
Thank God for time. I need to trust Him with it.
Tomorrow begins a new year, and a new beginning for trusting in the Lord, and for accepting that s-l-o-w is ok in this busy, busy world.
How about you? Are you so busy that you miss many of the sweet little moments that God gifts us in this life?
Brew some tea and have a seat. Think about the pace of your life. Determine what really matters for your family.
And have a Happy New Year!!
From my home to yours!
